• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Are these PAFs?

Hi all,

I got a lead on a 61 SG LP and I am really considering pulling the trigger. Of course I have to go play it first. I am however a bit skeptical about the pickups. Here is an image from the seller:

The sticker looks a bit off to me. What do you guys think?

Go to “Forum Features” on the menu bar above. The select PAF article.
You will find many more attributes to distinguish true PAF from what you pics detailed.

The ends of the polepiece screws caught my eye first.

FYI, the seller did NOT claim these to be real PAFs. I was just hoping to "strike gold" so to speak. I am pretty certain these are older 57 classics or burstbuckers. Thanks for the assistance fellas.

Thanks for the help guys! I may still go give the guitar a test ride.
