I ordered a ‘58 PAF set from Shawn Olemy, after hearing them on the last (and penultimate) Doug and Pat Show:


I’ll let you know how they work out, if you’re interested—all the PAF pickup reviews were starting to blur for me, but these caught my ear, especially the neck.

Looking forward to your report.
-- Looks like he is singularly focused on good 'ingredients' too.
-- Seems like he's a sole operator and he's using A2 exclusively, regardless of wind?
Pics too sparse for me to tell if the covers are very accurate... so please post good ones, thanks!

I suggested that he expand on his “pics” game, he said he has the pics but hasn’t uploaded them yet. I think he’s too busy winding 🙂

Cool, pricing is very competitive.

Looking forward to your feedback and photos.

Ooh, and double cream is an option!

These may very well be worth stocking in the "parts drawer" for fuure use. 🤘

Also, his ‘60s wind is A5.
Aaaand I got double cream under aged covers… so wow, salad days for PAF options. I’ll do a review when I can, traveling for a bit so I won’t get them until June.
