Doyle Coils TRU-CLONES PAF HUMBUCKERS...
THE LEGACY CONTINUES
Les Paul’s Final Dream of the
Ultimate Humbucker Pickup Comes
to Life!
Tom
Doyle was Les Paul's
"Right Hand Man" for
over 45 years - Tom was
Les' very close friend, his
personal guitar builder
& repairman,
his co-inventor,
confidant, and his
soundman, engineer, and
show producer every Monday
night for 27 years at Fat
Tuesdays, then at the 2 Iridium
Clubs in NYC...
among many other things.
Suffice it to say that
two were very close and
Les counted on Tom for all
things guitars and sound for
almost 5 decades.
Most people don’t know
this, but Les Paul was
working very diligently
in the last years of his
life in an attempt to
clean up the Humbucker
pickup. He felt that the
bottom end of the
frequency response was
muddy and unclear, and
he fervently wanted to
fix that. It seems
everyone thinks that Les
only had an interest in
low-impedance pickups…
but that is patently
untrue and blatantly
false.
Les had an incredible
passion for making
things “just right”...
and would tinker, test,
and experiment on things
he wanted to fix,
tirelessly - almost to
the point of obsession. His constant passion towards
the end of his life was for getting the
high-impedance humbucker to come alive,
and deliver that clarity that he
so desired. As an homage to his
long time friend and mentor, Tom
Doyle and his friend
Max Stavron have brought Les Paul's
Dream of a clear, articulate,
harmonically lively Humbucker
pickup to life...

ABOUT TOM HERE
Les
was working tirelessly in the last 5 or
6 years of his life to create the
cleanest, clearest humbucker he could -
and we have all of his experimental
winds, all of his notes, labels, parts,
etc... piles and piles of the stuff. Tom
& Max pored over all of Les' notes, analyzed
all the different experiments, measured
the readings on all the prototypes, and
kept chugging along in the direction Les
was headed. You see, Les felt that if
there was obviously going to be
humbuckers in the famous guitar that
bore his name, then by God, he wanted
them to have clarity, sharpness, and
sparkle... and not have that muddy
bottom end that so many double coil
high-impedance humbuckers have… and
we did it!
.
Suffice
it to say that no expenses were spared,
no corners were cut, nothing was left
out with regard to the quality and wind
spec of these beautiful PAF Humbucker
pickups that Tom & his partner Max have made as an homage
to our close friend and mentor. Made
with the strictest adherence to vintage
detail and era correctness... Every
part, piece, magnet, screw and wire,
etc. is the "REAL DEAL". Nickel Silver
base plates, butyrate bobbins, maple
spacers, proper alloy slugs and
fillister pole screws, long cast magnets
that are gaussed by us, proper 42 gauge
enamel coated wire, American made
Vintage covers by the same manufacturer
as the originals... you get the picture!
Its all here... like the Vintage
Originals!
Tom Doyle has had the
experience most guitar
players could only dream
of, working closely with
Les Paul as his right
hand man, guitar tech
and co-inventor for over
45 years. It was said
that Tom could hear the
same things tonally that
Les could and this
ability has led to a set
of PAF pickups that
carry on the legacy of
Mr. Les Paul. In the
last few years of Les’
life, he never stopped
in his pursuit to create
a humbucker that was
clean, clear and
articulate. Les always
loved the rich tone of a
high impedance PAF but
modern recreations
always had too much mud
for his taste. Now,
thanks to detailed notes
and prototypes passed
from Les to Tom, TRU-CLONES
PAF Humbuckers produce
all the sonic qualities
that Tom Doyle is
certain his mentor and
friend would have wanted
in his own guitar.
Sparing no expense,
Doyle Coils are
hand-made and custom
wound entirely in the
USA using a special
recipe that has taken
years to develop.
Tom Doyle's Doyle Coils TRU-CLONES PAF Humbucker
Pickups... The best of the best!
Tom
Doyle was Les Paul's personal guitar
tech, luthier, co-inventor, soundman,
confidant, and "fixer" for 45 years...
right up until the time of Les' passing.
Suffice it to say that all that time at
the side of "The Master" has given Tom
the experience and know how that no one
else on the entire planet can possibly
have. He and Les Paul worked together
refining and redefining what an electric
guitar could and should sound like... a
true labor of love that still lasts till
this day. Now you can have a piece of
that history. Many have come along and
attempted to recreate the sound, look,
feel, and tone of the famous '57 PAF
Humbucker that is "the sound" in every
tone chasers head throughout the
world... and some have come close,
others not so close. However, none have
had the first hand knowledge, the actual
day-to-day first person experience and
the hands on background that Tom Doyle
has. Tom is nothing less than a walking,
talking historical encyclopedia of all
things Les Paul, guitars, electronics,
sound, and musical history from the last
50+ years... from the artists to the
instruments, to the gear they were
using, to the experiments they tried,
and everything in between! Tom has
been called "The Luthier to the Stars".
