PAFoid '59 set
(true sound - no wax!)

PAFoid '59 N

Output: Low

Styles: Rock, Blues, Pop, ...

Trademarks: Very smooth attack, nice mids, sweet and tight at the same time

The design of our '59 PAFoids is based on original Gibson® 1959 PAFs (we have such a pair in G.A.S., and we also compared to other 1959 PAFs).

For this tough task, we combined the best available parts, such as correct alloy parts, butyrate bobbins, AWG 42 Plain Enamel wire, Fillister cheese head screws (1010 steel alloy) and of course our US made, long rough cast pre-1964 specs A5 low magnetised magnet bar (exclusively made for GAS Pickups!) in order to achieve the original, open sound of the era.
PAFoid 59 N features slightly unbalanced coils (very small offset) and is designed for neck position.

Smooth, open and extremely dynamic old-school tone, mostly suitable for blues / soul / old rock. The perfect balance between sweetness and tightness - but that's the '59 sound!

PAFoid Green '59 set

PAFoid Green '59 N

Output: Medium

Styles: Rock, Blues

Trademarks: Round sound, deep mids, smooth attack

It took really some time to design this particular pickup, since it is based on a very special original, which was heavily modified during a repair session in the end 60's. The single braided hook up wire was replaced by a lower quality multi core one, and this is also how our Green '59 N pickup is delivered. The magnet bar is placed in reversed polarity with respect to the bridge pickup, thus the typical OOP sound is easily achievable, but due to the multicore cable, it may be connected in-phase, if so wished.
PAFoid Green '59 N features unbalanced coils with a very small offset, and also the typical Legend class parts, as correct alloy base plate, butyrate bobbins, Fillister cheese head screws (1010 steel alloy) and of course our US made, long rough cast pre-1964 specs A5 magnet bar (exclusively for GAS Pickups!). Also, it has steel bobbin screws (as on the original), and not the typical brass screws.

Green '59 N is very light wax potted and is delivered only with an antique pure nickel-silver cover.

Smooth, fat, jazzy sound, more round that the typical 59er, Green '59 N plays very well on overdriven settings.

Resonance: 5,6kHz, R_DC: 8kOhm, Heavy PVA AWG 42

Styles: Rock, Blues

Trademarks: Open sound, upper mids, enhanced attack

The relevant bridge model is sonically pretty much far away from the neck model. A snarly, twangy sound but still in the typical PAF territory...
PAFoid Green '59 B features unbalanced coils with a very large offset (screw bobbin in advantage), and thus, it adds a more open frequency spectrum to the guitar's sound. Further, it features the typical Legend class parts, as correct alloy base plate, butyrate bobbins, Fillister cheese head screws (1010 steel alloy) and of course our US made, long rough cast pre-1964 specs A5 magnet bar (exclusively for GAS Pickups!). As the N model, it is very light wax potted and is delivered only with an antique pure nickel-silver cover.

Open, snarly sound, with more bite that the typical 59er B, Green '59 B plays also very well on overdriven settings.

Trademarks: Very open sound, smooth attack, most articulate GAS Humbucker series

A modern, very open sounding humbucker with some GAS proprietary designed specs.

As a typical DarkGrey pickup, B 1 has a fiberboard base plate, which reduces the signal losses in the high frequency spectrum. Further upon, it features two unbalanced coils, both with pole-screws, however of different alloy (1018 screws on the one bobbin, 1010 steel screws n the other). As a result, depending on how the pickup is placed on the guitar (which coil towards bridge), a slightly different sound is being offered.

Last-not-least, with two pole screws for each string, a perfect finetuning of the pickup's performance can be achieved.

B1 delivers a very precise, polished sound with great definition, for sure a lead pickup for progressive, fusion, modern metal, crossover and many other contemporary music styles.

Resonance: 5,3 kHz, R_DC: 13,3 kOhm, AWG 43 Poly wire, US made A5 polished cast bar.

DarkGrey B 2

Output: High

Styles: Hard rock, progressive rock & metal

Trademarks: Open yet aggressive sound, sharp attack, most articulate GAS Humbucker series

A modern, fat sounding pickup designed to become a true riffing machine!

As a typical DarkGrey pickup, B 1 has a fiberboard base plate, which reduces the signal losses in the high frequency spectrum.

Further upon, it features two balanced coils. The outer one has typically six 1010 steel pole screws. The inner coil has 3 slugs under the e, b, g strings and three 1018 steel screws under the E,A, D strings. Thus, the low strings can be perfectly fine tuned so that the pickup's response is at the optimum, taken into consideration the guitar, the player, the used rig and the whole musical style(s) to be served.

B 2 delivers a very punchy sound with great definition, a riffing pickup that fits many contemporary music styles.

Resonance: 4,3 kHz, R_DC: 13,9 kOhm, AWG 43 Poly wire, OX Ceramic bar.

DarkGrey N 1

Output: Medium

Styles: Pop, rock, blues, soul

Trademarks: Very open sound, smooth attack, most articulate GAS Humbucker series

As a typical DarkGrey pickup, N 1 has a fiberboard base plate, which reduces the signal losses in the high frequency spectrum. Further upon, it features two unbalanced screw coils, but only one has screws on it (1018 alloy). The second bobbin is initially designed as a dummy coil, and comes with no screws on it. Thus, the N2 provides a more P90-esque, yet modern sound.. N1 is available with A2 (for smoother sound and attack and also for 24 fret guitars) or A5 magnet bar (for a more open, brilliant sound, and for 22 fret guitars).

N1 delivers a very precise, smooth sound with great definition on neck position, and matches perfectly with our B1 on bridge for the ultimate modern, contemporary, flexible humbucker set.

Our hommage to the monstrous sound of our all-time favorite band, Thin Lizzy® (founded by rock icon Phil Lynott), during the mid 70's!!! Listen to the albums "Bad Reputation" and the legendary "Live and Dangerous" and see what we mean!!!

Full attack, jawdropping dynamics, huge mids and great projection! Definitely for bridge position! A "killer without a cause"!!!!

Comes with a regular, US A5 polished cast bar. Balanced coils.
Resonance: 5,8 kHz, R_DC: 10 kOhm, AWG 43, A5 polished bar.

All measurements are performed with our Lemme Pickup Analyzer. Pickups are measured "Stand Alone", which means without any pot or cable load, as if they were directly connected to an 1Mohm amp input. Humbuckers are measured without a cover. Rdc values measured in 18o C Temperature, may vary depending on local weather conditions (temperature variations).

We measure each GAS model in "stand alone mode" as if the pickup was directly connected on an amp input of 1 MOhm by a very short non-coaxial cable. The guitar electric parts (pots, caps, etc.), as well as the cable used, will certainly affect the resonance of any pickup.
