Brickhouse Toneworks Introduces Mason Deluxe P.A.F. Humbuckers

Close-up of a Brickhouse Toneworks guitar pickup, with screws on a wooden surface.

Adding to the company’s lineup of premium US-made pickups, Brickhouse Toneworks has introduced the Mason Deluxe P.A.F. pickup. Available individually or in matched sets, the Mason Deluxe delivers the classic, exquisitely balanced tone of a vintage 1960s P.A.F. humbucker with added bite. They are a direct drop-in replacement for standard sized humbuckers.

Sporting AlNiCo 4 magnets for enhanced attack and articulation, the Mason Deluxe P.A.F. has the clarity of a lower wind with the power of a fuller wind. Pickup master David Shepherd designed the pickup with two slightly different wire thicknesses on each coil, along with carefully calibrated asymmetrical coils, to bring out the maximum frequencies and dynamic range possible.
