From Epiphone's R&D Dept Richard Aker's:

"These PRO Series pickups are not just slight improvements over previously produced pickups. They were completely designed here in Nashville and tooled from the ground-up at a new factory dedicated to high end pickup production," said Akers. "These pickups use only the highest quality components and are based on the most sought after humbuckers of Gibson's history. I spent many, many hours making sure these came out great and I am really happy with the results. They sound fantastic."

With the new pickups, Epiphone now gives its players the confidence that any instrument they purchase will have that sound, the elusive classic rock and roll patent applied for ("P.A.F.") tone.

That vintage sound may not be for everyone (which is why we make more than one kind of humbucker). But for devotees, having a Les Paul or archtop with ProBucker pickups provides a player with a tonal palette unmatched by any other pickup. The Alnico Classic Pro humbucker gives players the ability to seemingly erase any barrier between your imagination and what you play. They can sound stark, grungy, clean, shimmery, creamy, bold, round, skinny--the list goes on and on. Today, the Alnico Classic Pro humbucker pickup makes Epiphone not just a near-contender but also a real contender, in fact, a bona fide option for those seeking the classic late 50s humbucker sound...

As I mentioned, the sound of Rock and Roll has been defined in large part by the early Gibson made humbucker pickups. We tooled up our bobbins for our Pro Series pickups to the exact dimensions of these classic Gibson pickups. Another key ingredient to produce a top quality pickup is the use of Nickel Silver unit basses and covers. This is crucial to achieving the transparency and high-end sparkle needed for a great pickup. This is the one aspect of pickups used in Asian built guitars that most manufactures don't want to pay for. It's more expensive than using plated brass but it makes a real difference. We also use the highest quality magnet wire available, Elektrisola. The thickness of the insulation on this wire also plays a part. We use the thinnest available, single build. Every aspect of these pickups was considered. We specified the correct alloys of metal for the pole shoe, screws, and slugs. The magnets are sand cast Alnico magnets. All these seemingly insignificant parts add up. The Pro Series pickups are extremely well made, high quality pickups."
