The ultimate in vintage PAF tone!
Based on the specifications of the original 1950s Gibson PAF pickups, Pure PAFs feature a clean, articulate tone that’s incredibly versatile.
The Pure PAF is a lower output humbucker, which is more dynamic and expressive than higher output pickups.
It’s more articulate and cleaner than Lindy Fralin's Modern PAF, but beefier than their P-92.
The Pure PAF stays clean and features a late break-up and a smooth grind.
This pickup is perfect if you’re trying to restore life to your guitar.
Built with USA-Made AlNicCo II and 42-gauge Plain Enamel wire, the Pure PAF pickup is a gateway to instant vintage tone!
When playing without distortion, you’ll find that this pickup sings what you put into it: it’s dynamic and warm.
Highs are accentuated with a medium attack. With distortion, you’ll find that the grind is nice and smooth.
Lindy Fralin's manufacturing process allows for unparalleled quality control.
When Lindy designed this pickup, he wanted it to be as close to the originals as possible.
Pure P.A.F.’s consist of USA-Made Butyrate bobbins, baseplates, magnets, and wire.
Each pickup is wound by hand, one at a time, using Lindy Fralin's proprietary “Sectioning” technique.
Doing this gives the pickup a sweet, clear tone, reminiscent of the early Gibson Humbuckers.
After assembly, pickups are wax-potted to prevent microphonics and preserve the pickup for years to come.
Experience what a humbucker should really sound like and get inspired by the Pure PAF’s beautiful tone!
