BG Pups P.U.F. Humbucker Set

The P.U.F. is modeled off the classic PAF tone, but features all the tonal benefits of a handwound pickup. The most vintage-sounding set available from BG Pups, the neck is warm with nice bloom, and offers excellent clean and creamy lead tones. The bridge has a classic crunch with lots of definition and cuts nicely through a mix. Both pickups are very pick-sensitive and have a versatile dynamic range. This set is wired with single conductor vintage braided wire, uses an A4 magnet and is unpotted (it can be potted on request). Chrome cover is optional.
