BALANCE. WARMTH. SWEETNESS. CLARITY. VERSATILITY. TONE! John Suhr, the man who took revenge on the many manufacturers who had tried to reach the pinnacle of pickup excellence, the 50's PAF, but failed to do so. It all started when Pete Thorn came up with the Tone Concept to overcome the frustration he felt with pickups from many boutique manufacturers. Designed to faithfully reproduce the clear, versatile, and expressive sound of the 50's PAF pickup. Pete says, "I've played a lot of two-humbucker guitars, It's perfect for distorting leads, Playing clean or crunch notes in the neck or middle positions is disappointing. If you have to switch to a single coil guitar during a live performance, Instead of concentrating on playing, I end up having to readjust my amp and effects. But with a vintage guitar humbucker, it's multi-tone, clear, It really brings out those killer clean and semi-dirty tones." The 50's PAF was long thought to be impossible to remake, but Suhr Guitars' cutting-edge technology has helped it overcome this final hurdle. 4-conductor wiring, string spacing variations...
