Spellbound

Both Spellbound & Witchery coil shapes are based off early PAFs and pre sticker PAFs. The unique coil designs make for articulate, open and organic sounding sets. Looser bottom end and spongey pick attack, in turn creating luscious harmonic content and note bloom

A4 is standard, but also available in A2, A3 & A5 - matching, matching or any combination

NECK - ALNICO IV +/- 7.7k - Warm, with a syrupy quality coming off the strings. Bottom end is full, with a loose-ish feel. Refined expressive clean tones, but with enough drive on tap for rock genres

BRIDGE - ALNICO IV +/- 7.7k - A perfect marriage of A4, low wind and coil shape. Crisp crunch in the mid range, creamy highs and a percussive thump to the bottom end

Witchery

The Spellbound coils lay the foundations, with some added ‘Witchery’. Some more output is on tap, without compromising the Spellbound’s tonal palette. Open, Organic, with that spongey pick attack & note bloom - the Witchery set just breathes and oozes tone! If you love the tones of ‘Oscar’ on the Doug and Pat show, this is the set for you

NECK - ALNICO II - 8.0k - The slightly higher DC and unique coil design, allow for singing solos when opened up and when backed off, it cleans up to a warm, expressive clear tone. (also available with a Spellbound A2 neck pickup if preferred)

BRIDGE - ALNICO II - 8.3k - Authoritative bridge pickup. Rich harmonic content and singing creamy highs. Tighter low end than the Spellbound but still has a present percussive feel. The A2 gives more midrange projection allowing plenty of bark and crunch on tap

Empyrean

Tom Bukovac’s glorious sounding ‘58 Burst. In Uncle Larry’s own words “That guitar is not of this earth…it’s got so much magic in it”

While the physical aspects of this guitar are something to behold, Tone Devil’s vision was to try harness the wonderful tonal nuances into a set of PAF’s. Armed with a good set of ears, each pickup of the Empyrean set has been meticulously tested and refined to match the 58’ as close as possible. 

Encompassing unique coil shapes to each pickup - they possess a vintage presence, and a feel that you are holding a well aged, broken in guitar. If you are after a lot of output, this might not be the set for you. Although having enough drive on tap, pick dynamics, articulation and expressive tones are what this set is about… and certainly that is what they deliver!

Voodoo

Based on the most famous Les Paul in the world - ‘Greeny’ owned originally by Peter Green (also available with other options, see below)

This set has a custom wound neck pickup incorporating Heavy Formvar wire (as per the alleged Sam Li repair). Middle position is out of phase just like Greeny.

Using the Phil Harris demo videos and Fleetwood Mac recordings, countless hours have gone into experimenting and testing coils, resistance and magnets to get all three positions just right. The Voodoo set not only captures the sublime out of phase tones of the original Greeny, the neck and bridge also sound phenomenal, unleashing classic PAF tones

Also available with neck coil shapes matching the bridge (in phase). Faster pick attack than the other sets and captures those renowned bell like tones of the originals - A4 & A5 also suit perfectly

Mojo

Although shrouded in mystery, for many, Miss Pearly Gates is the definitive PAF equipped guitar tone - a perfect marriage between a Les Paul and PAF pickups (also available with other options, see below) 

A lot of trial and error has gone into faithfully capturing the distinct guitar tones in the middle and bridge positions. The middle position (just like pearly gates) is the secret weapon. With tweaks to the volume and tone controls “That tone” from Live in 1980 is right there at your fingertips…. And what a tone it is! 

For players that need more ‘Mojo’ choose matching A4. If preferred substitute a Spellbound A4 neck (if the middle position is not so important) 

Other magnet selections are available upon request
