Experience the tone that made legends. The Mason Deluxe P.A.F. delivers chimey, bell-like clarity with exceptional articulation that responds to every nuance of your playing. Roll back your volume for sweet, woody warmth in the neck position, or dig in for sparkling punch and aggressive distortion in the bridge. Rich harmonic overtones bloom and sustain with a depth and dimensionality that brings your guitar to life.
The sound you'll get: Fat and woody cleans that never muddy, crystalline highs with pronounced pick attack, and a dynamic range that goes from sweet jazz tones to powerful rock aggression—all with that unmistakable vintage character.
Why it's different: Most people don't realize that the original PAF coils were wound on different machines with different spools of 42 gauge wire with wider tolerances. This led to variations in wire thickness which offset coil efficiency and resistance—creating the magic that made certain vintage PAFs legendary.
The Mason Deluxe is the culmination of this philosophy. We've taken all of these variables into account, but with a modern, intentional approach. It's not a lucky accident; it's a pickup designed to deliver the best of those vintage tones with consistency and precision you can count on.
