From that point on, <strong>Gibson Les Paul<\/strong> guitars were equipped with these pickups. A sticker with the phrase <strong>&#8220;Patent Applied For&#8221;<\/strong> was included on the bottom of the pills. The patent was <strong>finally granted on July 28, 1959,<\/strong> four years later, enough time to create his own legendary name: <strong>&#8220;PAF&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first <strong>Gibson PAFs<\/strong> tended to have <strong>differences between them<\/strong>, <strong>both in terms of output and tone<\/strong>. Several factors influenced these differences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gibson&#8217;s<\/strong> winding machines did not have automatic mechanisms to cut the cable after a certain number of turns, so <strong>the number of turns of the winding varied<\/strong> from one pickup to another, generating <strong>different levels of output and tone<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Alnico magnets<\/strong> have several grades and different magnetic properties (<strong>II, III, IV and V<\/strong> are the most common). At the time, <strong>Gibson<\/strong> randomly selected them for their pickups, although they generally used the <strong>Alnico IV<\/strong> magnet.<\/li>\n<li>Over time, the pickups manufactured at that time have lost properties, mainly due to the <strong>demagnetization of the Alnico magnets<\/strong> and the <strong>deterioration of their coils<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With their variations, over the years, <strong>Gibson<\/strong> <strong>PAF<\/strong> humbuckers have climbed positions until they reach the pinnacle of <strong>vintage pickups<\/strong>, becoming the <strong>&#8220;Holy Grail&#8221;<\/strong> of collectors.<\/p>\n<p>From <strong>1981, Gibson<\/strong> detected the <strong>increase in demand for vintage pickups <\/strong>and assisted engineer <strong>Tim Shaw<\/strong> to research and create <strong>redesigns of the older PAF pickups<\/strong> , managing to <strong>recreate and update<\/strong> some <strong>PAF<\/strong> models, and although, for economic reasons, <strong>many never saw the light of day<\/strong>, <strong>others were a great leap forward<\/strong> in the information and design of <strong>Gibson<\/strong> <strong>PAF<\/strong> pickups.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the <strong>Gibson<\/strong> <strong>PAF<\/strong> pickup is considered a <strong>classic humbucker<\/strong> with a <strong>relatively low output<\/strong> and a <strong>smooth, sweet tone. <\/strong>Today, other pickup manufacturers (<a title=\"Seymour Duncan\" href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Seymour_Duncan\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Seymour Duncan<\/a>, <a title=\"DiMarzio\" href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DiMarzio\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DiMarzio<\/a>, <a class=\"new\" title=\"Bare Knuckle Pickups (not yet redacted)\" href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Bare_Knuckle_Pickups&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bare Knuckle Pickups<\/a>, etc&#8230;) offer <strong>copies and versions<\/strong> of the original design.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Specs\"><\/span><strong>Specs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Position: <\/strong>Both (bridge or neck).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Magnets: <\/strong>Alnico IV.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conductor<\/strong>: Type 2 wiring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cover: <\/strong>Nickel, with original specifications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winding<\/strong>: Double, white vintage butyrate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lower container<\/strong>: Without pot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DC Resistance<\/strong>: 8.6k (Treble), 7.7k (Rhythm)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Copper Wire<\/strong>: Smooth Enameled Wire 42 AWG<\/p>\n<p><strong>Frame:<\/strong> Original specifications, cream color.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Numbering: <\/strong>On every pickup, in 1959 font style<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details: <\/strong>Unbalanced coils <span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"es\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">and a sweet, woody, strong and present tone.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Presentation:<\/strong> Leather case with certificate, original stickers and placement instructions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feedback\"><\/span><strong>Feedback<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>When selecting a musical instrument, specifically, an <strong>electric guitar<\/strong>, <strong>Gibson<\/strong> always has to be one of the choices. <strong>Yes or yes<\/strong>.
