Tribute 2 PAF Style Humbuckers

November 06, 2023 • alnico II • alnico2 • humbucker • paf • tone • tribute • vintage

Do you have a naturally bright sounding guitar that just needs to be tamed and fattened up? Then my Tribute 2's are the humbuckers you need to achieve that ultimate vintage tone. Wrapped with plain enamel 42 wire, the neck tends to measure out at around 7.7 and the bridge at about 8. The AlniCo 2 magnet really helps soften up the harsh top end that can occur with strong maple tops and maple bodies. CLICK ON OVER and check them out.

The Volt Reverse guitar and Sheptone Tribute Humbucker Pickups Receive A Stellar Review

outstanding !

what a great sounding pickup ! over the years i bought a lot of sheptone
pickups , installed them in guitars from cheap chinese up to gibsons , theyall improved massive , super responsive , most of the big brands products sound a bit dull and lifeless compared to sheptones , crazy overtones , pinch harmonics are screaming at you !

Really vintage tone 335

Both 6T8 have a fast, dynamic response at any volume. Both overdrive and distortion work equally well. Warm and harmonious sound. Great.

Sweet sound tele pups!

I replaced fender 64pure vintage pups with sheptone A2tele.
This pickup set sounds sweet so if you like jazz, blues, solo guitar and so on, you can enjoy the tone. If you like punchy tele sound, I recommend you go to sheptone A5 tele set. I think this goes better with swapash body and maple fingerboad!

Great Sounds

I purchased a set for my Warmoth build, and they sound just great! Clean or overdriven, they have a certain clarity to them that I like. And they never sound harsh to my ears. I have them wired like a 50's LP, and with a phase switch wired on a push pull pot. I can get all kinds of sounds out of these. Thank you!

An amazing and unique set of PAFs, and a standout builder.

The Sheptone Blue Sky set is an exceptional pair of PAFs. The neck is somehow both airy and woody, and also smooth and creamy. It never gets muddy but delivers very smooth and round tones.

The bridge, in my opinion, is a very special pickup that really stood out to me. I have never experienced such a vocal sounding and expressive bridge pickup in my life, it just does everything I want it to do and more. It's like a 52 tele on steroids without an ounce of harshness in the treble. Roll back the volume and it doesn't lose any heft, and gets you even closer to a single-coil like sound. It's insanely inspiring.

On top of that, Josh is super helpful and available to answer any questions you may have. Truly top notch customer service.
