Stephens Design NOS Wire PAF Pickup Clones Demo

[@lousekoya1803]

Wow !!! Sounds great ! Cheers from Quebec !

[@coldfishpie]

After playing so many PAF Clones has your search finished and have you settled on a set that in your mind have the all the great features of a good vintage PAF? Many thanks Jon

[@VisualGuy]

Shew! They def sound good. You can tell you are inspired in this video.

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

Inspired both by the pickups and to not impose too much on my wife’s business call in the other room!

[@johnnyway8667]

How do they compare to Kloppman pickups?

[@markn4526]

These sound great! I think I prefer these to the Mojo LTD's. They seem to sound very similar to the KZ-115's in that they have lots of clarity without sounding thin. The KZ-115's might be a little bit more scooped and maybe with a touch more lows. It could just be the LP Custom's ebony fretboard.

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

These and the Mojo’s are my top two for the > 8.3 kohm DCRs. These do probably sound more like the KZ-115’s (which are on the shortlist of my fav lower output PAF clones), likely because of the A2 magnets. The Mojo’s are A5.

Sounds great!

Thanks for listening!

is that a pearly gates les paul? Great burst!

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

It’s actually a luthier built replica but it definitely sorta resembles Pearly! It was supposed to be based on 0-0436

HOW LONG AGO DID YOU INSTALL THEM? WHAT KIND OF CABLE DID YOU ASK FOR? DID YOU MODIFY THE HARDWARE AS RECOMMENDED?

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

About 2 months ago. Not sure what you mean by what kind of cable.

They sound amazing! Do you know what magnets these are?

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

I’m honestly not 100% sure, but I think I recall Dave saying he used A2 in the bridge and short A5 in the neck?

[@yourefromdownsouth9728]

@@mattthrun-nowicki8641 Thanks. I’m considering Monty‘s PAFs with exactly that combination, or Mojo (which I think I have seen you demo too). I believe the Mojo set uses A5 in both positions.

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

@@yourefromdownsouth9728 Yes, Mojo uses A5 in both. Mojo PAFs are FANTASTIC, on par with these.

[@johnkas23]

Hey Matt! How does it compare to tegular Mojo PAFs vs the vintage wire? Was looking to get some Mojos. Thanks

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

@@johnkas23 Equal. The Mojo LTD’s and these are the top PAF clones I’ve ever played
