Amazing Throbak SLE-101 PAF pickups.
"The flagship pickup that put ThroBak PAF humbucker reproduction pickups on the map. If you want the best of classic A2 50's vintage PAF pickup tone this set delivers but without the low end mud often associated with modern Alnico 2 humbucker pickups. PE magnet wire is wound on the slug coils with the original Gibson Slug 101 winder and screw coils wound on the Leesona 102. The result is a complex tone with articulate clarity of the best PAF pickups of the 50's.”
-Description from Throbak
The Duesenberg 3-point bridge uses only three contact points between bridge housing and saddle to maximize pressure and tonal transfer between strings and instrument. When using the Bigsby B-5 Vibrato the bridge rocks forward and back with the strings.
The guitar is hand crafted in the south of Sweden by luthier Nils Nord in an old pigsty that has transformed Into a fully equipped carpentry with only old vintage Swedish machines.
Two of Nils Nord's earliest creations can be seen on stages with Robert Hurula and Vigilante Carlstroem of the Hives.
"My aim is to create guitars that offer an incredible playing experience while looking and sounding equally impressive.
Each guitar I create is a labor of love with a focus on every little detail.” - Nils North
