Pat. No Replica Pickups
In addition to our acclaimed PAF replica pickups, we proudly introduce our exact reproductions of the 1962-1967 pre-T-Top Pat. No humbuckers. Remaining true to our commitment to authenticity, we utilize all period-correct components found in our PAFs, including butyrate bobbins, low-carbon steel parts, and vintage base plates. With unwavering attention to detail, we honor the unique characteristics of this era.
Each bobbin is wound with the same turns per layer count as the originals made on a Meteor ME-301 machine, with minimal variation in turns count. Additionally, we incorporate period-correct A2 and A5 short magnets for an authentic vintage sound.
Our pre-T-Top Pat. No humbuckers are available in two distinct versions. The first version features purplish-brown Plain Enamel wire and double black leads, reminiscent of the early Pat. No pickups (and late PAFs). In contrast, the second version showcases poly-nylon magnet wire in a reddish hue, accompanied by black and white lead wires, with the start positioned outside the coil. Both versions are exclusively offered with black bobbins, preserving the aesthetic integrity of these revered reproductions.

PAF Replica Covers
John Henry PAF Replica covers are meticulously crafted to capture the essence of vintage guitar pickups. Made from nickel-silver of optimal thickness, these covers are formed through deep draw stamping and flush-cutting processes using custom dies, ensuring precise replication of every detail.
Each cover undergoes belt-grinding and polishing by hand, showcasing traditional craftsmanship of the highest caliber. True to the originals, every aspect is faithfully copied, from the contour of faces and corners to the characteristic dimpled screw holes. Their flat top not only enhances the vintage aesthetic but also provides a secure fit over bobbins, ensuring optimal performance.
These covers are available in nickel or gold plating, both of which undergo a thin hand-buffed copper-less electroplating process. This technique not only enhances their appearance but also preserves the brightness of tone, maintaining the sonic integrity prized by vintage guitar enthusiasts.
