Cub -
$90/each or $250/set
Cub pickups use Alnico V magnets
and have an ohm range up to 7k ohm. These pickups have a very pleasing
vintage tone, with nice, tight bass, smooth midrange, and glassy, but
not brittle highs. I can customize the frequency response to achieve more
or less bass, mids and highs.
Bitch - $94/each
or $262/set
Bitch pickups have an output
above 7k and also use Alnico V magnets. Made for a modern style, they're
more punchy than the Cub series. Particularly good in the bridge position
when coupled with Cubs in the neck and middle.
Flashback - $100/each
or $275/set
Flashback Strat pickups are
60's style "Greybottom" single coils using a light grey fibre
material for the lower bobbin flange. Wound with Plain Enamel wire to
'60's specs, and using staggered Alnico V magnets, these pickups will
take you back to the days of peace, love, and...psychedelia, man. Clean,
clear high end and punchy bass will have you trippin' in no time! User

7.5k. It has the classic Tele twang, bright and punchy. Crisp high
end, slightly scooped mids, and a tight bass.
Cub Neck - $90/each
Cub Neck
pickups for Tele use Alnico-5 and have an ohm range up to 7k ohms.
This is a warm, smooth pickup; also vintage sounding. My personal
preference for these pickups is about 6.2k.

Bitch Bridge pickups for
Tele use Alnico-5 magnets and have an ohm reading greater than 7.5k
and not more than 10k. I suggest 8.5k, personally. This pickup has a
medium output and is typically vintage-voiced with vintage style plain
enamel wire, but may be had with a modern polysol wire. User submitted

The Marshallhead
- $130/each or $260/set
Raw, in-your-face, distinctive
Alnico-5 hot P.A.F attitude. With an upper-midrange punch and sizzling
- not harsh - high end, they'll deliver the power to cut through. The
Marshallhead pickups were brought about by the desire for a pickup that
captures more of the "overwound" original 59 P.A.F pickups without sacrificing
clarity, detail and that great P.A.F "honk". A bright, yet fat and clear
top end compliments a cello like bottom and hollow honky midrange so
unique to the 50's originals. Using plain enamel wire, Alnico 5 magnets,
no wax potting and a special winding process, the Marshallhead pickups
have really raised the bar on the hotter P.A.F type winds. Bridge is
9k, neck is 8.2k. User

The Legend - $150/each
or $300/set
The Legend humbuckers are
aged to perfection both inside and out. I start with the highest quality
"Dead Mint Club" nickel-silver P.A.F. replica cover aged to stunning
authenticity. Then, aged bobbins, and aged pole-pieces. No expense is
spared and no detail overlooked! These pickups use plain enamel wire,
unpotted, randomly wound and assembled coils, and Alnico-2 magnets for
the most authentic P.A.F. tone available. Just like old pickups, no
two are alike. Average readings are 8.5k bridge and 7.5k neck.

The Grey Wolf- $120/each
or $240/set
The Grey Wolf pickups use your
choice of magnets and may be had at about 7.5k ohms in the neck and about
8.5k in the bridge, sometimes more. The Grey Wolf is a flexible model,
meaing it can be had in several variants including Alnico-2, Alnico-5,
with modern Polysol wire for a punchier tone, or vintage style plain enamel
for a more vintage character.
The Timbre Wolf- $120/each
The Timbre Wolf pickup uses
an Alnico-5 magnet and has an ohm reading of about 15k. This is designed
to be a modern voiced bridge pickup, a real screamer. This pickup has
a chunky, howling bass, crisp highs, and a slightly scooped midrange.
This pickup is long sustaining, ultra thick, and rich in harmonics and
howls like there's no tomorrow. Now also available in a ceramic magnet
version for those who want true paint-peeling, scorching tones!
The Fenris Humbucker
- $120/each
Named after the Mythological
Fenrir, the Norse Fenris Wolf, for it's loud, powerful sound, pronounced
midrange snarl and smooth top end, the Fenris is wound to 14.5k and uses
Alnico-2 magnets. Very good in the bridge position, may also be had as
a somewhat less output neck position too.
Caretaker 8.6k Neck 9.2k Bridge $120/each
As the search for tone continues, whether for a piece of "old"
wood, a Historic piece, or a Master Luthier`s creation, PAF clones always
seem to be missing something. Something you just can`t put into words.
The "IT" factor. Well, the search is over. Inspired by the
classic sound of the Peter Green/Gary Moore burst come this set.The
limits of these pickups are only what the guitarist himself is capable
of. Rumbling lows, mids that hit you in the guts and blistering highs.
Every note in a chord is heard clearly and well defined, even with gain.
If you need something to push your sound over that edge you may want
to give these a try.
