Gibson Releasing $999 PAF Limited Edition Pickups

LOL at all the TGP references, you people really are paranoid. Maybe read the thread and you'll see they're bashing as much as you are. Only difference is they don't feel threatened by other forums.

There's nothing wrong with posting on TGP.

Give it a year and they’ll be even more authentic. Give it two for the Murphy Labs already mentioned. Give it three for the £10k Greenies. In fact, why not a Collectors Choice run of all the CC guitar pickups? A good chance to sell another few thousand dollars in pickups to folks who already forked out once for the CC guitar. In for a penny….

Gibson figured if they dig their hole deep enough, they'll pop out the other side on top. Keep digging boys!!

I actually kind of want that case

I bet. You can get all your picks and lipstick in the chambered faux leather case

The case seems to be $699 of the price

Yeah, but it will sell quickly in the right circles...

This would make the perfect gift for banjo boy.

But guys, these are even MORE historically accurate! More than the $500 other PAF clones Gibson is selling. They made the pickup ring plastic the right way this time!!

Yes, it's part of the new historic revisionism lineup at Gibson.

Why are they using Alnico 4 magnets? I thought original Gibson PAF's were made with A2, A3 or A5.

Are you questioning the historical accuracy?? I’ll have you know that Gibson MADE the PAF. Play Authentic(tm) or die!!

If you wear tan pants this makes perfect sense. Gibson knows these little boxes will match the Instagram collection base perfectly.

Bah! Humbug! Everyone knows that C.F. Martin invented the PAF and Leo Fender refined it before he ever made his first prototype Tele. Gibson Shmibson.

Just sizing some up for this dopeass Harley Benton I've had kicking around.

Toneplastics.

Such a bad, out of touch look all around, crazy markup on a product with no original/unique selling points. Maybe they should throw some money at putting players in B and D suite roles. Dudes can’t even get a dirty fingers reissue correct and think I’m gonna spend 1k on their latest cash grab.

Also, dosent Dimarzio still own the PAF name?

Pleated tan pants.

These just beg for a $3000 deluxe reverb clone being fed by a board with 15 true bypass pedals and no buffer
