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 8bombcustom.com/demo in the Pickus Demo section.
