The True North PAF is very much like the Classic 59 in that we use period correct PAF material in its construction. The only difference is the magnet choice being Alnico 2 for both the neck and bridge pickup. The unique winding technique used provides a warm vintage tone with great clarity and harmonics. If you are looking for real vintage tone, the True North PAF is a fantastic choice.

An Amazing Upgrade!

I wanted to make my Epiphone IG ES335 a little more unique. I was looking at Low Wind Lollar Imperials and Seymour Duncan Seth Lover's, but they are just too pricey. I gave Pegcity my specs and they custom wound some Low Wind True North PAFs! They are AMAZING.

I need a little more time to explore them but the definition, warmth and smoothness is unbelievable. The neck is warm without being muddy; the bridge is crunchy, airy and articulate without any nasty ice-picky trebly extremes. They blend so beautifully and there are so many tones in the interplay between volume and tone pots.

In short, these pickups were a serious step-up from the stock PUPs. I'm really happy to own a set of Pegcity True Norths. I'm happy to support a Canadian business. My 335 is completely unique -- there might be others like it, but this one is mine.

I'm gonna go find a Gold Top LP and ask Peg to wind me some P90s.

I am totally blown away by the versatility of this pickup. I bought it to replace a very high output ceramic pickup in my Kiesel guitar, which was good but much too low-end focused. The Angry Widow has a much better range, especially in the mid and mid high ranges. It is perfect for the heavy distorted sounds I like, you can hear every string clearly. It also sounds fantastic in lower gain and clean settings. The split coil sound is nice for cleaner strat like tones. The ability to customize for free and have it hand built in a week is also a big plus.

I think we are blessed to have such a talented craftsman in our area. A comparable Dimarzio pickup I was looking to buy was double the price after exchange and customization.

Keep up the good work!

Excellence in a pickup

I make guitars and I was looking for something special for a Les Paul Junior I was making, since it was only going to have one pickup I decided I wanted it to be something special. This pickup did not disappoint, light and chimey when you need it, roll the volume up and it just roars! 10/10 would recommend!

Well,
These pickups sounds great I’m so happy that I discovered your company.
Thanks

Got that mojo

I recently installed a set into my ES-339. The buckers that it had were ok, but were lacking something. I've been looking at options for a while before deciding to check these out. After consulting with Kris on the tones I was chasing, he suggested alnico 3 set. He nailed it! After playing with them for a few days, I can honestly say that there are no bad tones to be had with these. Clear and responsive, angry and gritty, this set does it all! They transformed my 339 into what I always imagined it would be. Thanks Kris!
