Authentic vintage PAF tone with exceptional clarity and warmth!
The Lindy Fralin Pure PAF humbucker set captures the warm, articulate, and expressive character of the original Gibson PAF pickups from the late 1950s.
Built to vintage-inspired specifications, these low-output humbuckers deliver a clear, open sound with rich harmonics, smooth highs, and a warm, balanced low end. Compared to Fralin's Modern PAF, the Pure PAF offers a cleaner, more articulate response with greater emphasis on vintage dynamics.
The neck pickup produces a warm, sweet tone with excellent note definition and a smooth, vocal quality. The slightly overwound bridge pickup provides additional output and punch, maintaining a balanced response between the two positions.
With their excellent touch sensitivity and dynamic range, the Pure PAFs remain clear and articulate at lower gain settings, gradually transitioning into smooth, natural breakup when pushed. Whether played clean or overdriven, they deliver the warmth, clarity, and musical character associated with classic PAF humbuckers.
Each pickup is individually handwound using Lindy Fralin's proprietary sectioning technique and built with USA-made Alnico II magnets, butyrate bobbins, and 42 AWG Plain Enamel wire. The pickups are also wax-potted to minimize unwanted microphonics and ensure consistent performance.
