Fralin Modern P.A.F Set

The Fralin Modern P.A.F. has similar specifications to the 50’s Gibson® P.A.F. pickups, but Lindy added more power and output. The Modern P.A.F. has been designed to be stronger, thicker, and warmer version the Fralin Pure P.A.F. This pickup is for those looking for traditional tone only a little thicker and darker. With more turns and stronger magnets, the Modern P.A.F. will break up sooner and sound warmer and beefier than a Fralin Pure P.A.F.

Clean tones are warm, round, and full. Single notes have a larger footprint, while bass strings sound bouncy and rich. You’ll be able to get warm jazzy tones out of this pickup with ease. Dirty tones will sound creamier and smoother than our Pure P.A.F, with a smoother attack.

Nickel, Chrome or Raw Nickel covers stock available. Other cover colours available on order. Cut off for these orders is the 13th of each month and dispatched from Tone Merchants in the first to second week of the new month. Once dispatched, you will receive notification with trekking details.
