Product Description
Aged Vintage 1960 P.A.F. Humbucker – Authentic Worn-In Tone From Day One
Experience the authentic worn in look and sound of a 60+ year-old P.A.F. without the wait or the vintage price tag. Our aged vintage 1960 P.A.F. humbucker combines our highly detailed hand-aging process with a specialized magnetizing method that replicates the tonal response of the most coveted vintage pickups.
The 1960 P.A.F. Humbucker represents a methodical reconstruction of the sonic variables that distinguished the most sought-after vintage examples. Utilizing vintage-formulated Alnico 2 rough cast magnets combined with unpotted coil construction, the pickup achieves the precise balance of harmonic warmth and tonal clarity characteristic of the burst era. The design prioritizes responsive touch sensitivity and dynamic output control—critical factors often overlooked in generic "vintage spec" interpretations. Rather than arbitrary replication, this pickup embodies decades of analytical experience, delivering the legendary P.A.F. character with measurable consistency and reproducibility. The result is authentic vintage tone engineered for reliability and performance that discerning players and recording professionals can depend on.
It's not just about the aged look.
Our proprietary Field Charging method magnetizes the polepieces, slugs, and our vintage formulated rough cast Alnico 2 bar magnet in unison, settling the magnetic field throughout the entire pickup from day one. This process delivers the authentic vintage character typically achieved through decades of waiting. The result: more open highs, smoother mids, and more touch-sensitive dynamics that capture the tone of a real vintage 1959–1960 P.A.F. without the wait.

20 Years of Tonal Mastery
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.
Vintage DNA, Premium Components
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.
Two Names, One Standard of Excellence
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.
