Frequently Asked Questions
They’re designed to emulate PAFs, but vintage pickups have inherent variations. These offer a consistent, controlled version of that classic sound, avoiding the unpredictable nature of truly old pickups.
The lack of wax potting makes them more susceptible to microphonics with high gain. Careful gain staging and potentially vibration dampening might be needed.
The nickel covers are plated; they aren't solid nickel, which helps keep the overall cost more manageable while maintaining the vintage aesthetic.
