Fralin Modern P.A.F. Set Black

The Modern P.A.F. is our Pure P.A.F. on steroids.

It’s great for more modern styles of music that need a little more output and power. The Modern P.A.F. features a thicker midrange with a quick and even breakup.

The Fralin Modern P.A.F. is the second best-selling humbucker we make. We took the specifications of the 50’s Gibson^® P.A.F. pickups and added more power and output. We designed the Modern P.A.F. as a stronger, thicker, and warmer version of our Pure P.A.F. This pickup is for those looking for traditional tone only a little thicker and darker. With more turns and stronger magnets, the Modern P.A.F. will break up sooner and sound warmer and beefier than our Pure P.A.F.

• Our Second-Best-Selling Humbucker – low output, vintage tone

• Modernized Gibson PAF^® specifications: medium output, with modern clarity and power
• USA-made Alnico 4 Magnets for vintage tonal balance and output
• Compensated Overwound Bridge for even volume across all pickups
• Hand-wound with our “Sectioning” technique for unique, dynamic tone
• Hand-built for unrivaled quality control
• 10-Year Warranty on manufacturing defects

Our manufacturing process allows us to achieve unparalleled quality control. Modern P.A.F.’s consist of USA-Made bobbins, baseplates, magnets, and wire. We wind each pickup by hand, one at a time. Each pickup is wound using our proprietary “Sectioning” technique. This gives the pickup a sweet, clear tone.

We assemble each pickup one at a time, by hand. Making pickups this way allows us to achieve unbeatable attention to detail. After assembly, we wax-pot the pickup to preserve the pickup and prevent microphonics.
