This set was built to emulate the tone of Dickey Betts' famous Goldtop in a modern Les Paul. Aged and Top-aged pickups are built with bobbins that were molded from original PAF bobbins for a super authentic look. This particular set is MACHINE WOUND to more faithfully create THE PAF tone. Magnets and coil offset were selected to attain the tone of these specific pickups.

Sets are available fully aged with PAF decals for $300, "top-aged" only for $269, non-aged for $259. Pictures of completed pickups here. Aged and Top-aged pickups are built with bobbins molded from ACTUAL PAF bobbins, accurate baseplates stamped exclusively for Sheptone that were reverse-engineered from originals with real tool marks, super-accurate PAF decals. Most every part of these pickups has been fabricated here at my shop, or exclusively for Sheptone to ensure the most accurate PAF replica available.

Clips courtesy of Kris and Rob Horvath, who inspired and assisted in the development of this set! The first three clips are of familar ABB songs, the last clip is a slow blues jam.

Clips were recorded with a '59 reissue Tom Murphy Les Paul through an Orange Tiny Terror head with matching 1x12 CAB with Vintage 30 speaker, close mic'd, guitar/cable/amp only no effects.

Once again, clips are best burned to CD and played on a proper stereo.

Sheptone pickups are consistent. you can buy 10 real PAF's and they will all sound slightly different. I have modeled my pickups after only the best sounding PAF's. My winding process varies little so that you can be assured of a consistent tone from any set.

All pickups are also available aged to your specified level. Click here for information on aged pickups.


I accept PAYPAL online and major credit cards by phone, internet prices include domestic shipping. International orders add shipping on order page.

**EVERY pickup is temporarily installed (without solder) in a test guitar and played to ensure proper tone and function**
