Since 2014, when together with Vashchenko we made the first prototype of the '59 Les Paul, I wanted to go further and start deep research on P.A.F. pickups. In this case, as in the study of design and technology 59 Les Paul, I also used my artistic research experience and the principles of reverse engineering. This always works flawlessly. The most important task for me was to recreate the voice and timbre of the original PAF and its amazing dynamics. The vast majority of modern pickups do not have these characteristics and nuances. The first versions of my pickups, which I made for friends and as experiments, I made from those replicas of PAF parts that are publicly available on various specialized online stores. Cellulose acetate butyrate bobbins, historical backplates, lids and other metal parts. Everything is as it should be. I was pleased with the results, but only until the moment when the original vintage PAF fell into my hands. Thanks to the help of my friends from around the world, I had the opportunity to examine several vintage original PAF 58, 59, 61 pickups. It turned everything upside down. With my friends we did a lot of testing and research on alloys, wires, sizes and more. It turned out that most of the parts that are on the market do not match the original specifications. Over the next few years, I experimented and learned to understand and adjust the dependence of various parameters in production in order to achieve that very sweet PAF voice. To do this, I had to make my own parts that are responsible for the correct sound. Now I manufacture and order parts from the factory that exactly meet my requirements and recreate the right clean and warm PAF voice that we all hear on our favorite records.
