A "59" P.A.F Focused on Dynamics and Harmonics
This "Fullbucker" set is rooted in the heritage of the 1959 P.A.Fs, with a clear approach: to offer a sound centered on dynamics and harmonics, without chasing a hypothetical "standard" P.A.F (which never truly existed). The result: a pickup that is more present and incisive, while remaining deeply vintage in its tone.
For Which Styles and Guitars
More robust and warmer than the 1959 P.A.F "Beaussart," the "Fullbucker" targets guitarists who want an expressive, lively, and punchy rock sound, with pick attack response and breathing chords. It is ideally suited for Les Paul Custom guitars, and more broadly for Les Paul-type guitars where a clear attack, rich sustain, and a musical upper spectrum that is bright rather than aggressive are desired.
