Here
are some down and dirty sound
clips done in early winter 2014, by our head
operations guy,
Max Stavron. They have
been installed into a beautiful 2011
Les Paul R9, equipped with our complete
'59 Wiring Harness, Pots, PIO Caps,
etc... The guitar was played through a "Plexi"
type amp and an Egnator 2X12 Cab. Note
that once the amp's settings were dialed in,
nothing was changed, moved or altered in
anyway. Any changes in tone are
controlled completely from the guitar by
changing the switch positions, the
volume and tone knobs, and how
dynamically the guitar was played
(attack). |

Description
of the PAF sound that we have
created for you in our TRU-CLONES PAF Pickups:
Chimey, bell-like, articulate, mean when
pushed, smooth when rolled off, clear
and crisp with lots of string
definition… 3D holographic harmonic
overtones that bloom and rise with tons
of sustain and that sweet upper
mid-range, with that slightly
microphonic effect that lets you hear a
well defined pick attack, fat and
complex, tons of grunt and growl when
distorted, woody smooth and airy in the
neck position… sparkling and crisp in the
bridge, with lots of punch and tonal
definition… even on the lower bass
strings! |
|
... Les would be
proud! |

 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".
