FennRx Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 PAFs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPaul117 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 NO WAY! (Sacastically). Are PAFs a special type of humbucker or something? Or are they completely different. If they are a humbucker, then what kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are a humbucker' date=' then what kind?[/quote']Â my understanding is that the PUs in 58/59 LPs were the one invented by Seth Lover....they are the PAFs. Â Pickups from today are PAF clones...such as the 57 Classic, Burstbucker, SD Pearly Gate, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPaul117 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 can you tell me the closest thing to a 59 PAF (neck)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 can you tell me the closest thing to a 59 PAF (neck)? Â depends on the preference of the listener. and i'm not trying to be smart***. i think the Burstbuckers Pro are pretty cool myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPaul117 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Can they be used for coil tapping? (Like the JP signature). If not, what's the closest thing that can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 i would imagine so. the JP signature uses four wire PUs like 496/500 for coil tapping, out of phase and in series. i think that the BBs are two wire...i'm sure that someone can wire it for coil tapping though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPaul117 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 thanks for your help. One more question. Can the seymour duncan SH-1 '59 Model also do coil tapping? Does it sound more vintage than the pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 i'm afraid i don't know about those. i have heard that most if not all humbuckers can be coil tapped as long as the tech knows what he's doing. but i am not completely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPaul117 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Mmmk, thanks for your help. Can anyone else tell me if SH-1 '59 Model by seymour duncan can be coil tapped and sound like a 59 PAF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
