PAF' and stuff
I've been fortunate over the course of my playing career to have played and owned LP's with PAF's, also 335's, 345's and '55's. I'm very familiar with their sound. Recently, prompted by reading about all the magnet swapping with Antiquities and assorted Gibson pickups I took the plunge. I installed the magnets from a new Gibson P90 in an older set of Antiquities that I was never too fond of... a very magical thing happened; I now have a set of pickups in one of my R9's that sound as good as any PAF I've ever heard... period. The quest for "the tone" ends with this combination. This is a great forum and I am thankful to all who have shared their trials and tribulations.
