Kent Armstrong's Icon Vintage 57 PAF's. Hand-wound pickups with Alnico 2 magnets and maple spacers. They seem not well known and hardly discussed. I've tried many other PAF's in the past (Gibson Custombuckers, Seymour Duncan, etc., GuitarMadness korean-mades). I took a chance on these because they're about half the price of Seymour Duncan and the little info on them that I could find online seemed mostly positive. There's one YouTube video comparison that convinced me to try them. Man when I loaded it up it just had that magic tonal-pallet that I've been mentally seeking... Compared side by side with my other guitar's with PAF's in them it blows them out of the water. I just bought two more sets to put in my other guitars. Really don't know what else to say except that when you finally find that tone you instantly know it, and suddenly realize what the missing piece of the puzzle has been.
