I am starting preparations for the Guitar Summit 2023 which will be held in Mannheim (Germany) on September 22-24. You can help me in this matter, as this trip will not be easy for me. I'm driving alone in my old Peugeot (which is currently being repaired) and I can't do without your help. You can support me in several ways:
1) Subscribe to a new Patreon level called Band of Brothers or subscribe to the Maker level if you're not already there.
2) You can buy or order a set of my PAF clones at a special price (promo code on the website: brothers_in_arms, or write to me at )
3) You can purchase a high resolution poster (digital printable photo by Rodion Kovenkin) of one of my projects. You can select an image here: 8bombcustom.com/galery
4) You can also simply support me through PayPal with any convenient for you amount: 8bombdovnar@gmail.com (please indicate transfer as "family or friends" and comment "Donation for Guitar Summit trip" .
5) You can buy my merch. True, this will not support me very much financially, but I like the idea 😁
Thank you friends!

![59 Hot PAF clone by 8BombCustom pickups. [New 2026 model]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YuNh1syQHS4/mqdefault.jpg "59 Hot PAF clone by 8BombCustom pickups. [New 2026 model]
This year, we’ve updated our line of PAF clones and added several variations and new models. We’ve slightly improved the winding pattern by studying vintage winding machines in even greater detail and conducting dozens of experiments with precise measurements of characteristics and comparisons to original PAFs. We’ve also developed a completely new model, the Rumble Heart, which has no analogues. The unique feature of this model is that we implemented a slight phase shift in each pickup individually. We tuned it so that the sound became brighter and more spacious while still retaining the body of the midrange. The sound of this pickup set takes us back to the golden era of Led Zeppelin and Cream. If you want your Les Paul to sound like a Telecaster on steroids, this model is for you.
We’ve also introduced several new variations of our classic models. The ’59 PAF clone is now available with either AlNiCo 2 or A4 magnets. The Goldie model, in addition to the standard A5 magnets, now available in a version with A2 magnets. For the most passionate rock ’n’ rollers, we’ve introduced the ’59 Hot PAF model with A5 magnets. And for jazz musicians and those who love a clean sound, we introduced the 57 Jazz PAF model with the weakest A3 pickups. We also kept the 58 PAF clone with A2 magnets, as this model has gained great popularity worldwide, especially in Japan.
You can view full demo videos for each model on our updated website https://www.8bombcustom.com/demo in the Pickus Demo section.

Hello. This is Dr.Nitro Workshop. The first episode of my Big Journey to the Guitar Summit in 2023. In this episode I begin my journey to the largest guitar exhibition in Europe. I will travel through 5 countries and visit Klaipeda, Kiel, Hamburg and Mannheim. And on the way I’ll stop in Frankfurt to visit the legendary and largest vintage guitar store in Europe - Guitarpoint. Of course, the original 1959 Les Paul Burst is waiting for me there! So, lets go!
