The Sheptone Tribute P.A.F.-style humbucker set uses rough-finished Alnico 5 (degaussed) magnets, featuring the classic '57–'58 spec 42 Enamel. Resistance may vary from set to set since the winding process goes strictly by the number of turns of wire. Tributes come standard with Gibson "Patent Applied For" 49.2 mm pole spacing. 

Sheptone Tribute pickups were carefully designed for the best sound through extensive research, winding/rewinding and comparison testing. These pickups produce the same beautiful sound as original "Patent Applied For" pickups at a fraction of the price.
