SheptoneTribute P.A.F.-Style Humbucker Set With Nickel Covers Nickel Cover
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sheptone’s Tribute set is a P.A.F.-style humbucker pair built around rough-finished, degaussed Alnico 5 magnets and 1957-58 specification 42 Enamel wire. Its winding is governed by the number of wire turns, so resistance is not fixed from one set to another. The pickups use the standard Gibson “Patent Applied For” 49.2 mm pole spacing and arrive with nickel covers. For a replacement project, the pole-spacing figure is the key detail to check alongside the variable resistance.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacement projects that call for the set’s standard 49.2 mm Gibson Patent Applied For pole spacing.
- Players seeking a P.A.F.-style humbucker set with nickel covers and Alnico 5 magnets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Buyers who require one fixed resistance value across every pickup set.
