Amber Pickups 59 Wizard PAF replica humbucker pickups aged gold set. Very rare and hard to find. A set of Amber Pickups 59 Wizard PAF humbucker pickups in aged gold finish.The Wizard set is similar to the ‘Spirit of’ or the ‘O-Tone’ set. However, the neck pickup of the Wizard set is juicier (compared to Spirit and O-Tone) and the bridge pickup is a little bit more powerful without featuring more midrange. Amber Pickups are among the finest PAF replica builders in the world. Each pickup is handmade to exacting standards and utilises the finest materials.

Monty’s 50s Les Paul wiring loom, the key difference between a modern wiring loom and a 50s wiring loom lies in the relationship between the volume and tone pots. In simple terms, whereas a modern wiring loom connects the tone pots to the input of the volume pot, a 50s wiring loom connects them to the output of the volume pot.

While this might not seem like a huge change, the tonal impact is massive. 50s wiring allows you to retain clarity as you roll down the volume pot, much like a treble bleed circuit (but without its inherent disadvantages). It also changes the response of the tone knobs, creating a slight interaction with the volume pot as you turn the tone pot down. The net effect is transformative; whereas modern wiring can make humbuckers sound muddy as soon as you start to turn anything down, a 50s loom allows the sound to beautifully clean up in response to the volume and tone knobs.

Our looms are made with only the best components: 500k CTS audio taper pots, vintage-correct wire and two of our very special Russian NOS Paper in oil capacitors. Available with either a 0.015uf or 0.022uf cap in for the neck position.
