The humbucker has an invaluable historical impact on music as we know it today. Since it’s invention in 1955 it still remains fundamental to the evolution of blues, jazz, rock, and especially heavy metal, allowing for greater expression and the development of high-gain, fuzz, and overdriven guitar tones. Humbuckers are still the main driving force of the contemporary electric guitar industry.

PAF is a phenomenal pickup that we at Kinetic Pickups hold in high regard. We knew we'd eventually try to develop our own version of Humbucker.

Our humbucker version is not another PAF imitation. Handcrafted Kinetic Pickups feature the art of shaping the sound based on vintage tone and innovative hum cancelling technology. We drew inspiration from the late 1950s PAFs to create a genuinely vintage voicing with an open, pleasing, and dynamically broad sound. A lot of effort was put into eliminating the 60-cycle hum and noise, making them more user-friendly for modern players. They're excellent for any style of music, but they excel in classic old rock, blues, and jazz, as well as heavier styles like hard rock and modern metal.

Magnets the core for vintage-style sound: vintage magnets allow the strings to vibrate freely and breathe. We tried to reproduce the magnetic field characteristics similar to historical magnets. Special order magnets helped us to achieve that sound “in your face”, open, musical and capable of providing that feeling of "free full breath advantage".

Noise cancelling tech: We match coils for hum elimination while preserving the full spectrum of desired sound. However, there is one significant disadvantage to this technology: it’s a very tedious and time-consuming work. Electronic measurement tools are of no use here. Only human ears can pick up the right balance. The product has to be made by hand and then meticulously ear tested and matched.

Shielding: To maximize noise cancelling effectiveness, multilayer alloys of several materials must be employed. Copper is effective at preventing Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) at specific frequencies, while nickel, silver, and aluminum are efficient at protecting against the other range of frequencies.
Kinetic Pickups guarantees the highest level of noise and hum elimination, outperforming that of other brands.
Kinetic PAFs can recreate the sweet, airy openness that vintage PAFs are known for, with pleasing treble frequencies, punchy mid-range and well-defined low end. A tempting choice for players seeking vintage tones with improved dynamics so that open chords and lead work all ring out with plenty of resonance and amazing clarity.
This is your opportunity to hear the sound quality on your own guitar, test our noiseless pickups for yourself, and unleash the ultimate potential of your instrument.
