Handcrafted custom guitar pickups & faithful recreations of vintage PAF's. Each coil is wound one at a time with dedication, passion and the finest materials. When it comes to amazing guitar tone... the devil is in the details
Tone Devil Legacy PAF’s
The Tone Devil Legacy PAFs are inspired by the defining coil shapes and winds from the Gibson Golden Era of the late 50’s. Each set has been developed from testing, listening and crafting a PAF that captures the sonic mysticality and feel of the originals.
Spellbound
The Spellbound sets are based off early PAFs - a perfect marriage of low wind and unique coil shape. Articulate, open and organic. Looser bottom end and softer pick attack, in turn creating luscious harmonic content and note bloom. The 58’ option offers players a little more output in the back.
For SG owners that want that classic raunchy SG guitar tone - Tone Devil recommends the Spellbound 58’ in matching A2 or A2/A5, A2/A4 combination. For a late 60’s T-Top type tone, go for the 57’ standard option or A2/A5 combination

Revelry & Revelry MK
Revelry
The Revelry PAF’s are Tone Devils flagship set. A Spellbound neck pairs with a unique coil design in the bridge. This wind retains some give in the pick attack, but also incorporates more definition, tighter lows and increased treble response. A2 is standard, projecting midrange crunch, a more saturated tone, creamy highs and percussive lows. Available in A2, A4 or A5 in any configuration. (Tone Devil faves are A2/A2, A2/A4)
NECK - ALNICO II - 7.7k +/-
BRIDGE - ALNICO II - 8.3k +/-
Available in A2, A4 or A5 in any configuration
Revelry MK
The Revelry MK set takes inspiration from the MK Burst currently owned by Marcus King. Building on the Revelry platform these PAFs unleash the unmistakable tones of the MK Burst. A throaty, gutsy & gritty neck that cleans up beautifully, pairs with a bridge capable of expressive cleans and a crunchy snarly growl. Like the Empyreans, these are extremely versatile and can cover a lot of classic guitar tones (without choosing a specific tribute set). Comes with Tone Devils choice of magnets and D.C
Empyrean
The Empyrean set is inspired by Tom Bukovac’s 58’ Burst (from the Home Skoolin’ channel on Youtube). This set has been designed and tested over several months using a good set of ears and honing it to perfection! These PAF’s cover a lot of territory - punchy, loud & clear with just the right amount of bite and growl. Medium output for both in the low 8k range with matching Long Alnico 5. If you love the tone of the original Pearly Gates owned by Billy F Gibbons, this is the perfect set for you. The middle position harnesses BFG’s live tone perfectly! (also available in A4 if preferred - a subtle difference but sound equally as good)
