The Seth Lovers are P.A.F. Clones and they are the best I have ever had. This is the second set I have bought. I’ve tried a lot of pickups (57 classics, burstbucker pro, dirty fingers, dimarzios, Lace sensors and a lot of P.A.F. Clones, even others from Seymour Duncan (Joe Bonamassa limited 1959s) and I’ve got a Gibson Custom diamond anniversary Gold top with custom buckers in but the Seth Lovers just blow them all out of the water. They have that honk and growl that I associate with P.A.F. Pickups which seems to be missing nearly all the others or at least not as pronounced. They have a massive powerful sound when driven and they clean up really nicely when you roll off the volume (at least with 50s wiring) I absolutely hate buying pickups as it’s always a really expensive gamble and when you’ve soldered them in there’s no getting your money back and I’m usually disappointed or underwhelmed after spending all that money but these things are amazing and I wouldn’t hesitate in sticking them in any Les Paul, SG or es335. I don’t see how anyone could be disappointed if you want that P.A.F sound. Just be aware that these are NOT wax potted (just like back in the day) which I’m sure contributes to the authentic sound.
