Schuyler Dean, Eisenhower Hi-Fi USA humbuckers, Aged Nickel

In stock and ready to ship, one set of Eisenhower Hi-Fi USA pickups in aged nickel!

After listening to so many “PAF” reissue pickups that don’t really sound like the real thing and have very little to offer tonally, I decided to make the most authentic PAF that I possibly could.  I started with parts made right here in the USA and aged the nickel-silver covers, baseplates, and steel poles in acid.  Aging the parts gives it the look of an authentic, 50 y.o. pickup.  I use maple spacers, 42 ga plain-enamel wire, rough-cast alnico 2 magnets, butyrate bobbins, and poles threaded into the baseplates just like the originals.  I forgo wax potting for that extra bit of airiness and rawness at high volume.  The end result is a pickup with a moderate output on the vintage scale, organic openness, a pleasing top-end bite, and a growl in the lower mids.  Comes with braided, two-conductor leads, hardware, and a wooden display box.  All pickups come with a lifetime warranty.
