02 Dec T-Top Replicas – A successful tone report!

I guess most "gearheads" and "tonefreaks" are already very used to boutique pickups. It seems that most variations and options offered out there are reproductions of the sought after "Patent Applied For" pickups (PAFs), which are very special in their own right, but also very elusive. The inconsistent character of that era makes reproducing them very hard, as there's hardly any set "standard" for the true PAF tone. The quantity of people who offer high quality replicas of said pickups is overwhelming. From $75 to even $200 or even more for a single pickup, there are many to choose from, be it from big names such as Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan, as well as other small winders. Truth is, all of them sound great in their own way, what you get, though, are different tastes. But I'm not here to talk about boutique pickups in general. Thing is, I have something that might interest you.
