1967 wire=2008 wire=1954 wire=1959 wire and so on as, far as im concerned. if you worry about the year your fucking WIRE was made in, you have more money than sense.

I've seen actual sets of '67 pups sell for less then what he charges for a set.
In his defense, though, the PUPs in my '67 duo-sonic are freakin AMAZING.

It's the aged magnets that do the who vintage business. But news flash. See all those cherryburst Les Pauls used in 1968-69. They were only 10 years old. If you want to rock that holy grail tone get a 1998 Les Paul.

Pickup winding has many variables & winders have been trying to capture the PAF tone & over tones. The coatings & copper purity mix of these vintage wire has not been produced for about 40 years & it makes a difference in the pickup. Just check out the u-tube video's on the 6707 humbuckers. These pickups are being sold in limited # & the next batch will not be for sale till 2017.DuoSonicBoy wrote:I've seen actual sets of '67 pups sell for less then what he charges for a set.

for serious. every classic recording you have ever heard was recorded with new to a few years used instruments. the thing about "if a guitar isn't 40 years old it still thinks it's a tree" is just BS.euan wrote:It's the aged magnets that do the who vintage business.

The more important question here is, why is this guy spamming us with this shit? Nobody cares about some "boutique" Les Paul pickup builder that uses M@J@ 1967 L@@K! wire.
If he wants to sell his shit, tell him to join the forum.

Oh aye, quality 60s wire that is better quality than anything made today? But it's fragile and needs to be wound slowly? I sincerely doubt that is the way they were made back in the 60s in the Fender factory.In our search to obtain the highest quality pickup components, we source a small supply of NOS pickup wire dated to 1967 on the original sealed boxes. The wire is exquisite, unquestionably of higher quality than what is manufactured today, but it is fragile. Each 67-07 pickup is wound slowly by hand with no breakage. The tone is true 60's vintage.

thats not what im saying. PAFs sound good because they have been aging for 50-odd years. I bet that if you used the exact same wire from a PAF and wound a set of squier pickups with standard other parts (magnets, bobbins, etc), the sound quality would be a lot different, even with the same construction methods.FLICKOFLASH wrote:Got any PAF's you sell me for 10.00Mo Rocca wrote:1967 wire=2008 wire=1954 wire=1959 wire and so on as, far as im concerned. if you worry about the year your fucking WIRE was made in, you have more money than sense.

PAFs sounded good when they were new, so that doesn't make sense....
Still, fuck those 1967 wires.

The fact that this sort of mojo talk has pushed the price of the originals sky high is nothing to do with his post. You can be fully aware of the mojo-inflated market value of something and still think that that mojo inflation is complete nonsense.FLICKOFLASH wrote:Got any PAF's you sell me for 10.00Mo Rocca wrote:1967 wire=2008 wire=1954 wire=1959 wire and so on as, far as im concerned. if you worry about the year your fucking WIRE was made in, you have more money than sense.
Auctions like this this show that some people are obsessive about having vintage correct parts, regardless of it's impact on tone.
