Classic 1959 Les Paul tones!
The Mule has a classic PAF vintage tone with exceptionally balanced frequency response and more than enough power for any application.
The Mule humbuckers are built and voiced as faithful reproductions of the best sounding late-1959 PAFs.
They have a differing number of turns of vintage correct 42 AWG plain enamel wire on each coil, resulting in outstanding clarity and extended dynamic range.
The solid nickel silver baseplate and cover are exact replicas along with the butyrate bobbins, maple spacers, nickel-plated slugs and Fillister no.5 pole screws.
Sand cast Alnico IV magnets give The Mule faster response in the bass, fuller mids and better control in the high end.
Even at low levels of gain, smooth harmonic feedback which is full of overtones is possible, while clean sounds have depth and unmistakable vintage character.
The idea of these pickups is to have a vocal tone that’s expressive and clear, while driving amps commandingly into overdrive when required.
