The SLE-101 MXV is the flagship model of ThroBak Pickups. We faithfully recreate the sound of vintage PAF pickups using Alnico 2 magnets from the 1950s. We purchased the original PAF winding machines (Slug 101, Leesona 102) from the factory and wound our pickups using the same machines, perfectly recreating the original PAF's legendary uneven coil winding. The winding machines of the time were designed to wind larger coils, and were adjusted to wind smaller coils like those used in guitar pickups. The unique winding patterns were a result of the machine's inherent rotational behavior. This is a mechanical characteristic, and hand-wound reproduction is unavoidable. ThroBak Pickups are produced using the same machines and components closest to the originals, making them a perfect modern-day PAF reproduction. - Vintage-spec butyrate bobbins made in the USA that replicate the PAF - Winding machines: Leesona 102 and Slug 101, just like the originals - Vintage PAF-style baseplates made in the USA, custom-made by ThroBak - Vintage-style pickup covers, nickel-plated, no copper, made in the same shop in Kalamazoo as the originals - USA-made pole piece screws made from the same alloy as 1950s PAFs - Slug pole pieces cut with a Brown & Sharpe automatic threading machine - USA-made plain enamel wire, 42 AWG, made using the same process as vintage models - Vintage-spec custom-made USA Alnico magnets - USA-made vintage-spec braided output wire (two-strand braided shield wire) Made in the USA DC Resistance: 7.6k Magnet: long A2 magnets [ThroBak Electric Guitar Pickups] ThroBak Pickups reproduce the vintage tone sought after today using the same winding machines as those used back then. Our pickup designs, using the same winding machines as the originals, are made using the same methods as the originals, so no other pickup manufacturer can match our faithfulness. We strive to find the best winding machines and recreate the nuances of vintage PAF and P-90 sounds. Our winding machines come from Gibson's Kalamazoo factory. Here is a true reproduction that brings back to life the legendary tones that once inspired players to perform their best.
