Description
The Van Zandt True Bucker is built for players chasing that original PAF magic found in vintage Les Pauls and ES-335s, but with a bit more meat behind the tone. It’s not a slavish copy—Van Zandt dialed in slightly more output than the old pickups while keeping the character that made them legendary in the first place.
- Vintage-voiced tone rooted in the classic PAF humbucker sound
- Slightly hotter output than original PAFs, without losing vintage nuance
- Full-bodied response with strong top-end sparkle and solid low-end weight
- Highly touch-sensitive—digs in when you attack the strings, cleans up when you back off
- 4-conductor wiring for coil-splitting, phase, and series/parallel wiring options
- Versatile across rock, blues, country, rockabilly, and rhythm playing
- Black cover
What sets this pickup apart is how it reacts to your playing—dig in and it pushes back with grit and edge, ease off and it cleans up with vintage warmth. That dynamic range makes it equally at home laying down blues rhythm, chugging through rock riffs, or twanging out a rockabilly lead. If you’re rebuilding a Les Paul-style or 335-style guitar and want PAF character with a little extra push, the True Bucker is a straightforward, honest upgrade.
