Classic PAF tone with exceptional clarity and warmth!
The Bare Knuckle Stormy Monday humbuckers deliver a sweet, articulate vintage PAF tone with warm lows, slightly scooped mids, and smooth highs, offering exceptional clarity and dynamic response.
Inspired by the brighter PAF pickups of 1957 and 1958, the Stormy Monday set is hand-wound with vintage-correct 42 AWG plain enamel wire to reproduce the character and output of these legendary humbuckers.
Each pickup is handcrafted using butyrate bobbins, calibrated sand-cast Alnico II magnets, and solid nickel silver baseplates and covers, staying true to traditional PAF construction.
Like the original Patent Applied For humbuckers, the Stormy Monday features asymmetrically wound coils for an extended frequency response and excellent touch sensitivity.
Clean tones are open and expressive, with warm, full bass, sweet and mellow highs, and a slightly hollow midrange that gives each note a soft, percussive character.
With smooth natural sustain, excellent pick dynamics, and outstanding string separation, the Stormy Monday set is ideal for players seeking authentic vintage PAF tone with exceptional articulation.
