    Wow, whatever drugs they have hidden in those bobbins, i wanna hit. If they were made out of solid gold and encrusted with diamonds they wouldn't be worth that much. I wonder if anyone is going to buy.

    EDIT: this is a bit wierdly worded but im too lazy to retype

    Think of it this way: you have a ´59 burst that is worth 100k-150k, becasue these pickups aren´t in it anymore.... WITH these pickups it´s worth 250k-300k.

    ´Nuff said?

    Nothing sounds like the real deal PAFs... nothing. It's not hype, it's the truth. Zerb has a point, if you have an old Gibson, those will make its value skyrocket.

    I wish somebody would make one that really sounds amazing. Sorry guys, but I've played Seth Lovers and owned a set of Antiquities myself and they don't come close.

    The Chris, so many of the "original PAF's" sounded diffrent that its imposible for a possible to sound like all of them. By the way how many diffrent original PAF's have u played through, no disrespect its just i've played through a pair of original 59's and they didnt sound to great

    Not only will they buy, but the seller will probably get more than $10k. It's not just for the sound -- no pickup sounds THAT good -- it's for the history and the double-white (double-creams) are the rarest of the bunch. Rock-n-roll, blues and jazz history was made on these babies.

    How much does a fork cost? Maybe $1.50 for a fancy-ish one? What if it was owned by George Washington? Even though it doesn't work any better than your forks at home, it's probably worth a wee bit more than $1.50.
    In 1861 as the Confederate forces were about to fire on Fort Sumter, the blue and gray had infinitely more in common than the blue and red today. What fellowship can "the truth shall set you free" ever have with "there is no truth, only points of view", or "what is truth?"

    Secession would be a horror. But barring a major national crisis like a Black Death magnitude epidemic or nuclear attack to erase once and for all the myth that truth is negotiable, it is coming.

    Don't get your hopes up too high -- it's probably because the serious players in the vintage game smell a fraud.

    I'm an internet person. All we do is waste time evaluating things that have next-to-zero real world significance.
