PAF tone without the guesswork.
Lock in Blues ’59, Jazz ’57, Punch ’61 —
or choose the pro-favorite 57/61 Deluxe that blends the best of all three.
Trusted on stages and in studios worldwide.
In my deep study of original PAFs, I found a handful of exceptional references that defined three voices: Blues (1959), Jazz (1957), and Punch (1961). ToneSpec exists so players can nail a specific voice without buying every humbucker on the market. We recreated every meaningful detail of those reference pickups so you can drop pro-level tone straight into your guitar. Then we went further and voiced a set that blends the best of all three: the 57/61 Deluxe — the #1 choice for pro guitarists.
The Pro Standard
Our flagship blend: the round warmth of ’57, the sweet bloom of ’59, and the focused attack of ’61. Effortless feel, wide dynamic range, sings clean and roars under gain.
