In the past, there were no high-gain amps, no home recording studios, no computer monitors. Single-coil pickups were okay, and so were unpotted humbuckers. Who knew? Times have changed, but the clean, bright-yet-warm tone of the best vintage pickups still sets the standard for electric guitar sound. The Virtual PAF captures the finest qualities of 50s and early 60s humbuckers to create a great sound. Patented Airbucker and Virtual Vintage technology permit the use of an Alnico 5 magnet to generate the same low string-pull that Alnico 2 or 3 produces, and combine two of the most sought-after tonal characteristics: low note clarity and high note warmth. The neck model has a pure, bell-tone chime and the Bridge model has a thicker, "woody" sound. The Virtual PAF comes with 4-conductor cable.
