Triple Clone AKA NotAPAF

This Humbucker is an exact tonal clone of a vintage Patent Applied for Pickup. The pickup that was cloned was a legendary Bridge pickup that was in a large collection of Vintage Humbuckers, this one was proven to be the best sounding after numerous recordings and wound tests. After three prototypes an exact replica was born and tested head to head with the original, the sound was identical. There was some variation to the original patent applied for pickups and this one is on the higher output end of the scale, over wound and beefed up, perfectly touch sensitive, when you hit it hard it responds.

Wound on an antique winding machine with Plain Enamel wire, and using tuned Alnico Magnets, built around exclusive custom pole screws, precision milled parts and select grade steel for all the components. Every pickup is painstakingly assembled with the utmost care producing a pickup that is the ultimate in quality. Each pickup is individually Serial Numbered and engraved with a logo on the base plate.

Options: Vintage style two conductor or 4 conductor lead wire if you intend to split this pickup. These pickups are available without a cover in black or zebra, with a cover in nickel, brushed nickel or aged nickel. As with all Arcane Inc. pickups custom options are available, there are a huge number of variables we can tweak the specs to suit your taste.

1959 Engraving on uncovered humbuckers:  The pickups come standard with this engraving on the bridge pickup, not on the neck if ordered as a set of two.  This is optional, you can request plain non engraved when ordering if you prefer.
