Sheptone Tribute calobrated PAF set zebra. 2 cond.

TRIBUTE SET:
Standard matched set uses rough finished Alnico 5 magnets and an average of 8.0-8.2K wind on the bridge and average 7.6-7.7K wind on the neck. Although the originals were never installed in certain positions based on their resistance, this has proven to be the range of the best sounding pickups in those positions. Sets can also be built with your choice of alnico II, III, or IV magnets. Standard set comes in zebra, reverse zebra, or double-black. Pickups come standard with gibson 50mm pole spacing. Don't let those resistances fool you... anyone can wind the crap out of a pickup, but that won't make it sound better. Sheptone tributes were carefully designed for the BEST sound through extensive winding/re-winding and comparison testing...

AB CUSTOM SET:
Sheptones first variation of the Tribute set is the AB CUSTOM set, wound for Musician's Services Guru Andy Brauer in Los Angeles. Below is a low gain clip of these pickups played by master guitarist Brian Kahanek. This is a hotter set at 8.4-8.5K on the bridge and 8.1-8.2 on the neck, also using the alnico 5 magnets in both pickups.

BRIAN KAHANEK SIGNATURE SET:
The second variation on my Tribute set is the BK SIGNATURE Set, custom wound for Brian Kahanek of Guitar Hero II fame. Here is a high gain clip BK did for me with his Elmwood Modena 90 amp. The BK set has a slightly hotter bridge (~8.25K) than the Tribute set and uses the Tribute neck pickup. This set again uses the alnico 5 magnets.

BLUE SKY SET:
This set was built to emulate the tone of Dickey Betts' famous Goldtop in a modern Les Paul. Aged and Top-aged pickups are built with bobbins that were molded from original PAF bobbins for a super authentic look. This particular set is MACHINE WOUND to more faithfully create THE PAF tone. Magnets and coil offset were selected to attain the tone of these specific pickups.
PLEASE NOTE: There is an 8-10 week wait on the Blue Sky set!

Sets are available fully aged with PAF decals, "top-aged" only, non-aged please select. Pictures of completed pickups here. Aged and Top-aged pickups are built with bobbins molded from ACTUAL PAF bobbins, accurate baseplates stamped exclusively for Sheptone that were reverse-engineered from originals with real tool marks, super-accurate PAF decals. Most every part of these pickups has been fabricated here at my shop, or exclusively for Sheptone to ensure the most accurate PAF replica available.
