ToneSpec Vintage Clone Series – PF-50 Tele Set

A Tribute to Peter Florance and the VooDoo That Changed Tele Tone

Peter Florance wasn’t just a pickup winder—he was a tone architect. Before his untimely passing, he built a cult following with his VooDoo pickups, offering handcrafted sets that struck fear into mass-market brands and woke up guitars that had never quite found their voice.

His most famous Tele creation? The TE-50—a blackguard-inspired set that managed to sound older than vintage, with harmonic content and touch response that players described as “haunting” and “three-dimensional.”

Now, with the PF-50, we’ve brought that sound back—and then some.

The ToneSpec PF-50 is a meticulous recreation of Florance’s TE-50 recipe, built using vintage-correct materials and enhanced by the same obsessive methods that earned us a reputation for reviving the impossible.

• Alnico magnets for vintage compression and dry bite

• Plain Enamel wire

• Custom-voiced bridge for twang with authority, and a neck that stays open and articulate without getting muddy

It captures the same midrange chew, string-to-string clarity, and dry harmonic bloom that made the original TE-50 a secret weapon for Tele traditionalists and modern roots players alike. Whether you’re pushing a Tweed Deluxe or rolling into a clean console preamp, this set reacts like it’s connected to your fingertips.

Peter Florance is gone—but his legacy lives on in the hands of players who still chase the tone he bottled. This isn’t just a clone. It’s a continuation of a sonic philosophy that valued feel over flash, and emotion over hype.

And if you’re wondering if we’re up to the task? We’ve already cloned Tom Holmes, Virgil Alro, Tim White, Abigail Ybarra, Alan Hamel, and yes—Peter’s legacy.

So if you missed your chance to own a real TE-50—or want one that lives up to the legend without wear, doubt, or reverb-market roulette—we’ve got you covered.
