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
NECK - ALNICO II - 7.7k +/-
BRIDGE - ALNICO II - 7.8k +/-
Available in A2, A4 or A5 in any configuration
Empyrean
The Empyrean set has the Spellbound coils at its foundations. The bridge coil design accommodates more wire, producing more output without compromising the Spellbound tonal palette. Open, organic - again with that spongey pick attack and note bloom. These PAF’s cover a lot of territory - punchy, loud & clear with just the right amount of bite and growl. If you love the tone of Tom Bukovac’s 58’ Burst from the Home Skoolin’ channel on Youtube, this is the set for you. Both A4 & A5 work equally as well, with A5 being tonally a touch closer (A5/A4 is also a favourite combination). For the A3 option the neck pickup comes in 8.0k
NECK - ALNICO V - 7.7k +/-
BRIDGE - ALNICO V - 8.1k +/-
Available in A2, A3, A4 or A5 in any configuration
Revelry
The Revelry PAF’s are Tone Devils flagship set, pairing a Spellbound in the neck with a unique coil design to the bridge. The bridge wind retains some give in the pick attack, but also incorporates more definition, tighter lows and increased treble response (when compared to the spellbound). Like the Empyreans these PAFs cover a lot of guitar tones found in many classic records. If you love the tone of the MK Burst currently owned by Marcus King, choose matching A5 - this set nails it! Available in A2, A4 or A5 in any configuration
NECK - ALNICO IV - 7.7k +/-
BRIDGE - ALNICO IV - 8.4k +/-
Available in A2, A4 or A5 in any configuration
