🎯 You Knew He Was Retiring

It wasn’t a secret.
Tom Holmes was winding his last sets. Everyone knew it.
You had time. You had chances.
But you didn’t pull the trigger.

And ever since, you’ve been chasing that tone.

You’ve searched forums.
You’ve seen the ebay & Reverb prices.
You’ve tried to convince yourself that “close” was good enough.

But deep down, you know the truth:

You missed your shot.
And you promised yourself - you’d never let that happen again.

💎 The Most Respected Modern PAF - Cloned

The Holmes 450/455 set isn’t just another pickup.
It’s the standard by which all modern PAF clones are judged.

Smooth. Detailed. Wide dynamic range.
These pickups don’t color your playing—they reveal it.
They make your Les Paul feel like a living thing.

And now? A real set might cost you over $1,500 on eBay.
If you can even find one that’s real.

We’ve seen fakes.
We’ve seen mislabeled imports.
We’ve seen players gamble and lose.

So we did what serious tone chasers do:
We cloned the real thing.

We reverse-engineered a verified original 450/455 set.
Voiced it to match.

What you get:

• Alnico 2 magnets – For that smooth Holmes compression

• True vintage output – Balanced lows, warm mids, articulate highs

• Lifetime warranty – Because pro tone should be stress-free

Collectors dream.
Players act.

Collectors regret.
Players get results.

Or are you ready to do something about it?

This is your second chance.

🚨 They Don’t Last

Once these are gone, they’re gone.
