The PATH 57
A unique pickup in today’s market, the PATH 57 brings back the sound and feel of the early P.A.F. humbuckers. It features slightly lower output than the original PATH series, offering greater clarity and openness.
True to the construction style of 1957, it uses steel bobbin-mounting screws, along with a cover alloy and thickness that match the materials used in the early P.A.F. era. The butyrate bobbins are wound on a vintage 1960s winding machine, set up to 1950s specifications, including correct winding tension and turns-per-layer count.
The PATH 57 is also available with a fully closed cover, without pole-piece screw holes.
A straightforward tribute to vintage tone, made for modern players.

Amazing Pickups! I had the PATH57’s installed in my Les Paul and they are exactly what I was looking for – more clarity while maintaining that classic PAF feel and open dynamic. Definitely and upgrade to any guitar if you’re looking for the ‘Tele-on-Steroids’ sound!
