VOHB (SET) | #57 | Front | #1 | Medium | A3 | 7.6-7.8K |
Rear | #2 | Medium | A3 | 7.9-8.1K |
Based on the A3 magnets seen in the early P.A.F.s, which are known for their delicate and dry characteristics. For the front, we use #1 to emphasize delicacy, clarity, and chord separation. For the rear, we combine the same tendencies with slightly increased power using #2. We create subtle tone nuances by changing the winding method and adjusting the amount of offset for each bobbin in their respective positions.

With a foundation of Alnico 2 magnets, characterized by tight lows, present mids, and delicate, sweet highs, we applied vintage tuning to produce an all-round, easy-to-use P.A.F. tone. This combination includes Front #1 and Rear #2.

VOHB SET | #59 | Front | #1.5 | Medium | A4 | 7.5-7.6K |
Rear | #2.5 | Medium | A4 | 8.2-8.4K |
Based on Alnico 4 magnets, which were used in many units up until the late ’50s. The basic character of Alnico 4 includes tight lows and juicy mids and highs. It has a mid-character between Alnico 2 and Alnico 5, with more presence and complexity in the highs than Alnico 2, but not as dry or scooped as Alnico 5. The front uses #1, and the rear uses a slightly fatter #2.5.

Rear | #0PN | Medium Low | A5 Short | 7.5-7.6K |
Based on a slightly shorter Alnico 5 magnet, the coil specifications differ significantly from earlier years, with the turns of the two coils precisely matched. This recreates the clear, dry, crisp, and powerful typical patent number tone of the early to mid-’60s. The coil wire remains plain enamel as in earlier periods.
