SUMMARY
The Saturday Night Special pickup set uses Alnico 4 magnets to deliver
that authentic 70s sound. These pickups bridge the output level gap
between vintage 50s and modern humbuckers.
DESCRIPTION
Unlike traditional P.A.F.s, the Saturday Night Special humbuckers are
voiced to be a little hotter and fatter in the bridge position, and a little
clearer and less “wooly” in the neck. They’re more aggressive than
50s-style models, but without the compression of most high gain
pickups. This pickup set is perfect for replicating those legendary
late-70s arena rock tones.
The Saturday Night Special Set is made in Santa Barbara, California on
the same Leesona pickup-winding machine that made the original
P.A.F.s in Kalamazoo. Comes standard with four-conductor wiring,
maple spacer and short mounting legs.
