Description


Vintage Correct Parts is proud to offer, for your consideration,
A completely original and fantastic

Vintage Gibson early 1960's Patent Sticker "PAF" pickup
Screaming hot at 8.96k
An ideal bridge pickup with outstanding vintage Gibson PAF tone.
This is 1/2 of a killer MATCHED early Patent Sticker PAF pickup set.

If you've been on the "tonequest" then look NO further.
HOT PAFs and Patent Sticker pickups (8k and above) are hard to find, they make for an ideal bridge pickup, as they help to balance out a naturally stronger, louder neck position pickup.    Most pickups from this era read between 7.25k and 7.50k - great resistance for a neck pickup.
Pairing one of those lower wind pickups with a HOT 8k (or higher) bridge pickup is a match made in heaven.Our HOT vintage PAFs always sell quick, and this one is priced to MOVE -- fantastic original condition with virtually no cosmetic wear.
So clean, it's like getting a brand new 50+ year old pickup! This is the main tone component, folks... and this set has PAF tone in spades.Our 1959 PAF's normally sell for $2500-3000, so this is your chance to get ALL of the PAF tone at a fraction of the price!
