Neck
Full and vocal, with a smooth top end and enough clarity to keep chords defined.
Vocal mids with a smooth singing high end.
Thick, vocal mids, a silky top end and rich sustain, with the smooth, full response of a good late-’50s PAF.
Full and vocal, with a smooth top end and enough clarity to keep chords defined.
Thick and singing, with a strong midrange push and a rounded attack that gives lead notes weight.
Smooth pick attack, rich sustain and a fuller response that keeps neck and bridge naturally balanced.
The ’59 uses programmed Leesona 102 winding profiles across both coils, with no intentional offset between them.
This more symmetrical coil structure gives the pickup its smooth top end, stronger midrange focus and fuller, more vocal response.
The bridge uses a slightly hotter wind for added sustain and harmonic weight, while programming the profiles allows the intended coil structure to be repeated accurately from set to set.
| Specification | Bridge | Neck |
|---|---|---|
| DC resistance | 8.3 kΩ | 7.5 kΩ |
| Inductance | 5.04 H | 4.00 H |
| Capacitance | 3.81 nF | 4.90 nF |
| Magnet | UK sand-cast Alnico II | UK sand-cast Alnico II |
Typical measurements rather than fixed targets. Inductance and capacitance are measured at 1 kHz. DC resistance varies naturally with temperature.
Olemy PAFs use standard full-size humbucker dimensions and fit most guitars designed for conventional humbuckers.
Because they use vintage-style long-leg baseplates, please contact us before ordering for guitars with unusually shallow pickup routes or non-standard mounting systems.
Olemy PAFs are supplied unpotted, following traditional PAF construction. This retains their open response and sensitivity.
Very high gain, extreme stage volume or standing close to the amplifier can increase the chance of microphonic feedback.
Vintage braided:
Traditional single-conductor braided cable for standard humbucker wiring.
4 conductor:
Allows coil splitting, phase switching and series/parallel wiring.
The current estimated ship-by date is shown beside the Add to Basket button. Each pickup is built, measured and checked before dispatch.
