Aged Vintage Mason Deluxe P.A.F. Humbucker Pickup
Mason Deluxe P.A.F. With Authentic Aging The Aged Vintage Mason Deluxe P.A.F. combines our proven coil design with an authentic worn finish that matches the look of vintage humbuckers. Experience exceptional articulation and touch-responsive dynamics that react to every playing nuance. Dial back for warm, clear neck tones, or push forward for bright, punchy bridge attack with sparkling definition. Harmonic richness and sustain bring vintage character to life. The Mason Deluxe story: Original PAFs varied due to inconsistent wire gauges and winding tolerances across different machines and wire spools. These unintentional variations created the legendary tones players still chase today. Our approach takes those happy accidents and makes them repeatable. By intentionally using 2 distinct variations of 42 gauge plain enamel wire per coil, we've engineered the magic into every pickup. The Aged Vintage Mason Deluxe pairs this precise tonal recipe with a cosmetic aging treatment that gives you the weathered, played-in appearance collectors prize—without the vintage price tag or reliability concerns. Baked-In Vintage Tone On Day One: Our proprietary Field Charging magnetization technique aligns the polepieces, slugs, and vintage-formulated rough cast Alnico 4 magnet as a unified system, establishing a settled magnetic field from initial assembly. This engineered approach replicates the tonal maturation that naturally occurs over decades, yielding articulate highs, refined note definition, and responsive dynamics characteristic of authentic vintage P.A.F. specifications—without the extended timeline.
