The world needs not another PAF pickup, I don't know how you are supposed to choose these days when they are all going for the same sound. In the early days of the replacement pickup market it was to get sounds that a regular PAF couldn't!

They are keenly priced thiugh, that's for sure.

think I'm going to give them a shot for the tele pickups, at that price you're in tonerider terrirtory so worth a punt.

Good luck to them ... it is impossible to make a living selling pickups at that price made in the UK.

ordered a set. will see what they are like when they get here.

Are they made in the UK?

I can't find any mention on the web site; usually UK manuafacturers are keen to promote this *well I am!).

The only real marketing angles are: our PAF is cheaper than  your PAF, and/or our PAF is more authentic than your PAF.

Apparently yes:

"At Regentone we craft everyone of our pickups by hand in our workshop in Hertfordshire"

Well, as Ash says, at those prices they can't be doing it for a living.

Probably someone making them in a shed as a second income.

Possibly,. But will see what they are like..

Cheers for bringing these to my attention mate.

I'd never heard of them.

Might try some out myself soon when I have a few more pound notes to spend.

thomasw88

finally got round to installing these..

put them into a G&L will Ray tribute which is an f hole telecaster with a b bender.     The pickups sound really nice and vintage,  work well ina ll the positions, and are a perfect fit for what I wanted.   So happy bunny here and will look at that company again in future.

Awesome news, I just bought a set off the bay for a future project, they certainly looked well made, I hoped they would sound good, now I know my risk has paid off @Thomasw88

Do they sound a bit buzzy?
