PAF piu

Our modern PAF + is built to have a proper split coil resistance ( screw bobbin ) still trying to keep a low output DCR, so is wound with a thinner copper wire (awg43), while the slug coil keeps the classic vintage gauge and insulation ( plain enamel 42 ) with a slightly lower resistance. the alnico 2 bar give to the split coil a sweet smooth voice and a smooth clarity, fat response in full mode HB with mids forward.

Usually the HB neck DCR is around 9k and the proportion is 65/35 % so the split screws coil will be around 5,8 k and slugs one 3,2 k.

Bridge pickup as well is an hybrid coil of the same two insulations and gauges, the split coil is around 6,5 k while the slugs one measures 4 k for a total of approx 10,5 k ohm dcr.

The humbucker is built with unbalanced coil so the tone is versatile as always but also original, 9 k for an A2 is an high value and tone tends to be really fat and darkish, more mids in the main coil that gets more presence, sided by the wide tone of the low output one.

Always super sensitive & a little warmer, complex tone with a clear and deep voice, versatile split and great body in the full mode.

A custom Alnico 2 raw cast gives an evident Vintage ” temper ” and is melt following precise chemical and magnetical poperties.

Complex articulation of trebles and a great dynamic range of shades, smooth but nice attack, deep bass and balanced definition of every string.

Immediate touch response from strings and pots, mellow limpid voice with excellent sustain and full armonic overtones.
