Handcrafted custom guitar pickups & faithful recreations of vintage PAF's. Each coil is wound one at a time with dedication, passion and the finest materials. When it comes to amazing guitar tone... the devil is in the details
Tone Devil Legacy PAF’s
The Tone Devil Legacy PAFs are inspired by the defining coil shapes and winds from the Gibson Golden Era of the late 50’s. Each set has been developed from testing, listening and crafting a PAF that captures the sonic mysticality and feel of the originals.
Spellbound
The Spellbound set is based off early PAFs - a perfect marriage of low wind and unique coil shape. Articulate, open and organic. Looser bottom end and spongey pick attack, in turn creating luscious harmonic content and note bloom

Witchery
The Spellbound lays the foundations with some ‘Witchery’ in the bridge. A Spellbound neck pairs with a unique coil design in the bridge, accomodating more DC without compromising the Spellbound tonal palette. Plenty of mid range balls and beautiful cleans are both on tap with this set! An A2 Empyrean 8.2k neck is also a fantastic match for players that prefer a neck pickup with more definition, focus & faster attack

Empyrean 58’
The Empyrean 58’ set takes inspiration from two of the finest 58’ Les Paul’s - Tom Bukovac’s Burst Standard and ‘Oscar’ from the Doug & Pat Show. Featuring the Spellbound platform, the Empyrean 58’s absolutely nail the tones of these wonderful Les Paul’s. Again with that spongey pick attack and note bloom, both pickups deliver a wide palette of expressive tones. Syrupy notes & bends, articulation, pick dynamics and a throaty growl are all at your fingertips

Empyrean
The Empyrean set is the bigger brother to the Empyrean 58’s and inspired by the tone of Billy F Gibbon’s Pearly Gates. A different wind to the Spellbound in the neck - more focus, definition and faster pick attack. This is necessary to capture that fat tone drenched middle position synonymous with Billy Gibbons’ live performances. The bridge pickup retains a similar tone to the 58’ but with the higher wind has a thicker meatier growl!
