We are fortunate to have acquired several sets of amazing PAF repro pickups made with the original stash of wire (lot 50026 and 27) that ThroBak had access to, which is long gone now. One of the most famous winding machines in the world, Leesona 102, wound these fantastic pickups in 2011. Highly sought after for a more rounded and vintage tone. Nothing but the best stuff for Watchtower customers!
