Vintage Soul Meets Authentic Aging

Experience clearer and more focused P.A.F. tone with authentic vintage cosmetics. The Aged Vintage Mason Deluxe P.A.F. delivers chimey, bell-like clarity with exceptional articulation that responds to every nuance of your touch—now with a perfectly worn finish that matches the look of legendary vintage humbuckers. Roll back your volume for sweet, woody warmth in the neck position, or dig in for sparkling punch and open grit in the bridge. Rich harmonic overtones bloom and sustain with a depth and dimensionality that brings your guitar to life.

The sound you'll get: Fat and clear tone that's never muddy, crystalline highs with pronounced pick attack, and a dynamic range that goes from sweet vintage tones to powerful rock aggression—all with that unmistakable P.A.F. dynamic character and the authentic look of a decades-old pickup.

Why it's unique: Most people don't realize that the original PAF coils were wound on different machines with different spools of 42 gauge wire with wider tolerances. This led to variations in wire thickness which offset coil efficiency and resistance—creating part of the magic that made certain vintage PAFs legendary.

We've taken all of these variables into account, but with a modern, intentional approach. The Mason Deluxe is the culmination of this philosophy using 2 different variations of 42 gauge plain enamel coil wire on each coil. It's not a lucky accident; it's a pickup designed to deliver the best of those vintage tones with consistency and precision you can count on.

Vintage Tone Without The Wait: Our proprietary Field Charging magnetization process creates a settled magnetic field from day one, aligning Alnico 4 magnets and polepieces at the same time in order to achieve the tonal signature of a vintage P.A.F. without decades of natural settling of the magnet field. The result: crystalline highs, precise note separation, and dynamic responsiveness that capture authentic vintage character through engineered precision. Combined with our authentic aging process that replicates decades of natural wear, you get both the tone and look of a genuine vintage pickup—immediately. Made in the USA with premium components designed for players who demand settled, vintage tone and authentic cosmetics.
