The Holy Grail Of P.A.F. (Patent Applied For) Humbuckers

Whether you're playing blues, rock, or jazz, the Brickhouse 1960 P.A.F. delivers unparalleled clarity, warmth, and smooth dynamic response that will inspire your playing to a whole new level. Bring new life to your guitar with the Brickhouse 1960 P.A.F. Humbucker and experience the legendary vintage tones of the original burst.
True boutique quality isn't learned overnight; it is forged over decades at the workbench. David Shepherd, the master builder behind Brickhouse Toneworks, brings over 20 years of expertise to every coil he winds. By crafting in small batches in the USA, David ensures each set possesses its own unique musical character. Installing a Brickhouse isn’t just an upgrade—it’s wiring twenty years of tonal mastery directly into your guitar.
Each pickup is handcrafted in small batches using hand-selected materials: premium alnico magnets, period-correct wire, and components chosen purely for their tonal contribution. For vintage-spec models, David faithfully recreates the construction methods and materials that made those classic tones legendary. This uncompromising approach delivers what players feel the moment they strike the first chord—touch-sensitive response, harmonic richness, and clarity that reveals every nuance of your playing.
Great partnerships are built on shared values. The Art of Tone and Brickhouse Toneworks both believe that premium materials, vintage-correct components, and exceptional craftsmanship aren't optional—they're essential to achieving great tone. We sought a builder who shares our obsession with quality and our conviction that every detail matters. In David Shepherd, we found exactly that. His handcrafted pickups reflect the same no-compromise philosophy we bring to curating premium guitar parts. Together, we're committed to one thing: putting the electronics for your dream tone directly in your hands.
