Humbucker pickups Hepcat PAF 1959 vintage pickups : We no longer present the legendary PAF 1959 which made the reputation of the Gibson brand with the first Bursts at the end of the 50's, but it also made the reputation of Hepcat with this exact replica made by Mr Stephane Beaussart. High-end pickup set for Fender or Gisbon guitars and others, handcrafted in France by enthusiasts, wire-wound pickups to vintage Gisbson PAF specs, to original specs and a few upgrades that make the difference.

The Hepcat PAF 59 "the Beaussart" Alnico-2 Humbucker is the most balanced and authentic of the range: They are ideal for playing 60′s style Rock and are suitable for Gibson Les Paul Standard type 58-60. All components of the pickup are identical to the originals. The type of sound of the PAF '59 is focused on dynamics and harmonics (there has never been a PAF “sound standard”). Conforming output level, specific winding passes, very harmonic and slightly dug in the mids.
