What makes a PAF style humbucker a PAF style humbucker?
· There are a few key factors:
· The gauge and coating of the coil wire needs to be 42 AWG with a plain enamel coating.
· The number of turns of wire per bobbin which tends to be around the 5000 mark.
· The material the bobbin is made of which needs to be butyrate.
· The magnet needs to be AlNiCo.
· The baseplate needs to be nickel silver
· The lead wire needs to a braided single lead
· A wood spacer
· And the most expensive part of the whole equation…the cover. The cover needs to drawn and it cannot have a layer of copper underneath the plating – this is a huge differentiator.
