Staff Comment: When it comes to magnets in '50s guitars, many people immediately think of Alnico 2. The Appetite for Destruction humbucker is a classic example, offering a distinctively tight sound and sustain. While the tone is consistent with the Custom Bucker, a more vintage-inspired sound lies somewhere between the Custom Bucker and the Burst Bucker. This model offers both a straightforward tone and a wide range of tonal variations. For more information about this product, please call 0570-020-025 or use our contact form. VOHB (Humbucker) Concept: The VOHB (Vintage Original Humbucker) is a double-coil humbucker crafted faithfully to the original vintage manufacturing techniques. While countless P.A.F. tones exist, we've grouped them into key eras—'57, '58, '59, and '60—and combined them to create a foundational P.A.F. tone with subtle variations that have changed over time. The patent number for the successor to the P.A.F. was set to 64, focusing on the period when specifications were stable. While there was a general trend in the original power level and model number, the specifications did not change clearly from year to year, and there were many cases where specifications were mixed or fluctuated. The numbers 57, 58, etc. in the set model number are meant to give a rough idea of ​​the general trend. The #0 number for the coil type that makes up the set rises and falls in proportion to the power level of the coil. The actual power level of the pickup is determined by adding the power level of the magnet to this. Common specifications for all models: Coil wire: AWG42 plain enamel; Bobbin: Butyrate; Magnet: Alnico 2, 3, 4, 5; Base plate: German silver (nickel silver); Lead wire: Push-back, 2-strand braided wire; Shield potting: None; Screw size: inch #3-48; Cover: Open (no cover) ■ Management code: 4515515350039
