Montances PAF Humbucker Pickups
Vintage-Inspired Warmth and Clarity for Classic Humbucker Tones
The Montances PAF Humbucker Pickups are designed to capture the iconic tone and feel of late-'50s humbuckers. Inspired by the original "Patent Applied For" design introduced in 1955, this set recreates the smooth mids, sweet top end, and dynamic responsiveness that defined vintage electric guitar tones.
Ideal for blues, jazz, and vintage rock, this set delivers clarity and warmth with enough punch for expressive leads and articulate rhythm work.
