Frequently Asked Questions
While Kloppmann strives for authenticity, no pickup perfectly replicates a vintage PAF due to countless variables. However, these come remarkably close in terms of tonal character and construction philosophy.
They are likely orange drop style capacitors, chosen to complement the pickup's vintage output and provide a smooth, natural roll-off on the tone controls.
Standard spacing is typical, but wider spacing might require minor adjustments to pickup placement to avoid string proximity issues – it’s something to consider.
