Let me put in my two cents.
I have never heard a Real PAF.
However I have heard some great pickups.
In the beginning, I thought the original PAFs were a hit or miss proposition.
Some great, some not so great. Some with different amounts of wire. some even in turns some not so even.
Some with A4s, A5s, and eventuall A2s.
Seymour Duncan has many different models that are supposed to variations of PAFs.
He has the Seth Lover Model that is supposed to be made exactly like Seth Lovers originals, down to the maple spacers, wound on the original gibson machines.
Duncan has the Antiquity models that are supposed to hand made models with aged covers.
So I compare how good can good be. Fine is Fine, wheter it cost $60 or $600.
Also I would like to add that there is any number of fine PAF pickup builders on this forum. Unfortunately they all want more money than I want to pay, so that's why I attempt to build my own.
So my recommendation is everyone enjoy the discussion and not get so personal about things!
Life is to short.
