Pickup covers are back! They protect pickups from damage and provide extra shielding against noise. There is one drawback: since all metal covers cause loss of presence, some of the attack is gone. Using our patented Airbucker technology, we've created a pickup that sounds like the best humbuckers of the 50s without any compromise in sound. Like the Air Classic, the tone is subtle and complex. We wax-dip the PAF Classic twice (the second time with the cover installed) to eliminated microphonic noise, and 4-conductor cable allows paralleled and coil-splitting options.
