EGP - Gary Grainger ‘Sweet & Savage’ PAF Humbucker Set

Описание: Designed to emulate the revered tones of classic humbucking pickups and made using era correct components with coil winding matched from Gary's favourite 1960 PAF pickups.
Our versions are based on a pickup set from Gary’s favourite 1960 Les Paul. We’ve used the finest components available including butyrate bobbins, sandcast magnets, the correct fillister pole screws, nickel silver baseplates and un-potted nickel covers - plus the all important maple spacers. We also use Plain Enamel coated 42AWG copper coil wire and our own coil wind patterns were refined and referenced to Gary’s until we reached a perfect and repeatable formula to match the DC Resistance and tonal subtleties found on Gary’s old PAF pickups.
The whole process took many months and a few different versions until Gary was completely convinced that we’d nailed it. Once we were all happy, we were in need of a name for them. ‘Grainger Things’ was in the running for a short time, but eventually Gary suggested ‘Sweet and Savage’ as that’s how he best describes the tone, and who are we to argue...
We hope you enjoy the video. It was recorded using the pickups installed in one of Gary’s ’59 Reissue Les Pauls direct into his own Blues Junior amp and mic’d with an SM58 – no effects pedals or any other nonsense were used.
