Product Description
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.

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.
