Brickhouse Toneworks Aged Vintage Mason Deluxe P.A.F. Humbucker Pickup Set - Aged Nickel

Set: Neck and Bridge

Mounting Hardware Included

The Mason Deluxe P.A.F. has the clarity of a lower wind with the power of a higher wind. We carefully designed them to have two slightly different thicknesses of coil wire on each coil along with perfectly dialed asymmetrical winds to bring out the most frequencies and dynamic range you could possibly get out of a P.A.F. humbucker. 

The Brickhouse Mason Deluxe P.A.F.'s deliver a unique tonal profile characterized by a chimey, bell-like clarity and exceptional articulation. The sound is both smooth and responsive, with a dynamic range that allows for a sweet, rolled-off tone as well as a powerful, aggressive distortion. A defining feature is the rich, 3D holographic harmonic overtones that bloom and sustain, providing a heightened sense of depth and dimensionality. The pickups also exhibit a slight microphonic effect, which enhances pick attack definition. This results in a complex, yet clear sound—fat and woody in the neck position, and sparkling with pronounced punch and tonal definition in the bridge.

It's truly an inspiring tonal experience that leaves you wanting more! These P.A.F.'s are not all about sheer power, but about fidelity, nuance, and a deep connection between the player, the instrument, and the amplifier. The resulting sound is more transparent and open, allowing the guitar and player's natural tone to be the star of the show.
