Aged Vintage 1960 P.A.F. Humbucker – Authentic Worn-In Tone From Day One
Experience the authentic worn in look and sound of a 60+ year-old P.A.F. without the wait or the vintage price tag. Our aged vintage 1960 P.A.F. humbucker combines our highly detailed hand-aging process with a specialized magnetizing method that replicates the tonal response of the most coveted vintage pickups.
The 1960 P.A.F. Humbucker represents a methodical reconstruction of the sonic variables that distinguished the most sought-after vintage examples. Utilizing vintage-formulated Alnico 2 rough cast magnets combined with unpotted coil construction, the pickup achieves the precise balance of harmonic warmth and tonal clarity characteristic of the burst era. The design prioritizes responsive touch sensitivity and dynamic output control—critical factors often overlooked in generic "vintage spec" interpretations. Rather than arbitrary replication, this pickup embodies decades of analytical experience, delivering the legendary P.A.F. character with measurable consistency and reproducibility. The result is authentic vintage tone engineered for reliability and performance that discerning players and recording professionals can depend on.
It's not just about the aged look.
Our proprietary Field Charging method magnetizes the polepieces, slugs, and our vintage formulated rough cast Alnico 2 bar magnet in unison, settling the magnetic field throughout the entire pickup from day one. This process delivers the authentic vintage character typically achieved through decades of waiting. The result: more open highs, smoother mids, and more touch-sensitive dynamics that capture the tone of a real vintage 1959–1960 P.A.F. without the wait.
