Tone Quest Magazine review of the Deacons PAF set:
“Bobby Tyson is a very humble and laid back guy who just happens to wind the best sounding vintage-style humbucking pickups on the planet. We can say this because we have had more than a few authentic Gibson PAFs and many reproduction humbuckers in our possession and Tyson absolutely nails the tone, feel, dynamic response and harmonic complexity of a great PAF pickup (and they weren’t all great).”

Tyson Tone Lab offers a unique range of PAFs – from clear and biting “Blackguard Tele on Steriods” to fat and honking. All different flavors that can be found in original examples, all with exceptional dynamics and clarity. Our humbuckers are wound on vintage auto traverse coil winding machines – just as the originals were at Gibson in Kalamazoo.
Extensive time effort and resources were put into vintage coil winding machine research along with R & D with great sounding original examples and the time consuming and painstaking process of sussing out all the fine details that go into not just great sounding, but great feeling replicas of vintage humbucker pickups.
Development and prototyping of each model involved extensive head to head comparisons with exceptional sounding vintage pickups.
All pickups come with a 30 day no hassle exchange. Email me if you need help choosing the best pickups for your guitar and playing style.
