{"product_id":"wizz-paf-humbucker-set-croatia-1","title":"Wizz PAF Humbucker Set - Croatia","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWizz Pickups has built a real reputation among tone obsessed players and builders for one thing above all else, faithfully reproducing the vintage correct pickups and parts found in the great instruments of the past. Operating out of Southern Europe, Wizz builds in small numbers rather than chasing volume of production, with each set hand wound and assembled by an expert with decades of experience and every set individually numbered. The mission is authenticity above all, matched bobbins, correct magnet types, period correct wire and construction methods, all aimed squarely at recreating the sound and feel of an unopened, all original 1959 PAF humbucker as closely as modern parts and craftsmanship allow. It is exactly this obsessive attention to detail that has made Wizz a genuine go to name for players and luthiers restoring or building vintage style instruments who want the real thing rather than an approximation of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a genuine Wizz Premium Clone PAF Humbucker set, built with sand cast, USA made Alnico magnets and custom 42 AWG plain enamel wire on cellulose acetate butyrate bobbins in light cream, matched to the bobbins found in unopened 1959 PAFs, and finished with the correct aged butyrate M69 white pickup rings. Both pickups are fitted with nickel silver covers in the correct TV shape with nickel plating, and threaded nickel silver baseplates carrying the silk screened \"Patent Applied For\" decal, exactly as period correct examples would have. The set is built to the classic slightly understaffed neck and bridge DC resistance pairing that gives genuine PAFs their clarity, dynamic range and touch sensitivity, rather than the higher output, more compressed voicing of later humbucker designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCondition is brand new, supplied complete in Wizz's own branded foam lined presentation box, along with the braided two strand hookup wiring left uninstalled and ready to be fitted. This is about as close as you can get to a genuine unopened 1959 PAF without sourcing the real, and now extremely rare and expensive, vintage original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrand: Wizz Pickups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eModel: Premium Clone PAF Humbucker Set\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMagnets: Sand cast Alnico, USA made\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWire: Custom 42 AWG plain enamel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBobbins: Cellulose acetate butyrate, light cream, matched to 1959 PAF specification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRings: Aged butyrate M69 PAF style rings, white\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCovers: Nickel silver, correct TV shape, nickel plated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBaseplates: Threaded nickel silver with silk screened \"Patent Applied For\" decal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHookup Wire: Braided, two strand, cloth covered\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCondition: Brand new, boxed, uninstalled\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wizz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49001090580633,"sku":"26187","price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_a0e1d7c6-e216-4940-a1c3-7f30e08dd24e.png?v=1789022289","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/wizz-paf-humbucker-set-croatia-1","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
