Description
Obsession + Focus + Passion = The Pro Standard
If you’re the type of player who refuses to settle for average tone, then you’re the type of player we built the 57/61 Deluxe P.A.F.s for.
This is the #1 pro choice—used by players from every walk of life, across every genre. If you need a set that covers it all without compromise, welcome in. You’ve found your pickups.
Obsession of Tone
The Deluxe Series wasn’t designed to be “another option.” It was designed to be the end of the search. Years of dissecting, testing, revoicing, and failing—until everything lined up.
“I’ve never been interested in being average. Getting the Deluxe Series right was an obsession that nearly destroyed me. Its humbling that so many top-flight players from all genres play my 57/61s in their main working guitars.”
— Randall Van Dyke (Founder, ToneSpec)
The 57/61 Deluxe Set blends the warmth and bloom of 1957 with the punch and authority of 1961—giving you the ultimate all-around P.A.F. voice.
If you’re the kind of player who demands tone that adapts to you, not the other way around—you’ll understand what we’ve done here.
This isn’t production. This is obsession—turned into tone.
Focus on Pro Tone
ToneSpec is the choice of working pros—not just collectors.
-Trusted by Grammy-winning composers
-Played by first-call session pros
-Built for players that demand the best for their music
And when you hear it from the players themselves, it hits even harder:
“These are the best pickups I’ve ever played. They allow me to easily express myself.”
— Sandro Albert (Producer/Guitarist)
“These are my favorite P.A.F.s. They make my builds sound amazing”
— Ken McKay (Luthier & Vintage Enthusiast)
Passion of Perfection
Perfection isn’t just about specs—it’s about repeatable greatness. Every 57/61 Deluxe P.A.F. is built under the strictest standards..
-Calibrated neck and bridge for seamless balance across the register.
-Proprietary Magnets aged and charged with our most refined process—capturing the sweetness of ’57 and the punch of ’61.
-Each set tested through temperature and humidity cycles, ensuring world-tour reliability with studio-level sensitivity.
If you’re the kind of player who needs the same confidence in the 100th show as the first, you’ll appreciate why we go this far.
Legendary Tone. Lifetime Confidence.
Other pickups force you to compromise between styles, voices, or feel.
The 57/61 Deluxe doesn’t compromise—it defines.
It gives you the tone pros trust in their main working guitars—backed with a lifetime warranty.
And now they’re yours—if you’re ready to upgrade from average to elite.
