Blue Sky Humbucker Set
Inspired by the tones of the Allman Brother’s Dickey Betts, the Blue Sky set is an authentic P.A.F. style pickup with alnico 4 magnets. The alnico 4 is what gives you that warm, smooth tone. I build every single one with nothing but the finest material, the attention to detail, and the time it takes to do it right. They will be the last set you ever buy. Unless, of course, you own more than one guitar.
- Rough finished, degaussed alnico 4 magnets for softer notes and warmth
- My own proprietary butyrate bobbins insure a coil and tone consistent to the originals every single time
- 42AWG plain enamel wire wound to my specific number of winds and tension is what really sets mine apart from the others
- Vintage spec’d German nickel silver baseplates with long feet accommodate even the biggest height adjustments
- Vintage braided wire to stay true to the authenticity of the originals
- Standard Gibson P.A.F. style 49.2mm pole spacing
- Resistance may vary from set to set since the winding process goes strictly by the number of turns of wire but DC resistances tend to be around 8.4k for the bridge and 7.8k for the neck

ies, I was always left thinking, this is good but I wish something was different. I knew I wanted to try Sheptone pickups but didn't know which to make my first. After months of research, sound samples and videos, I made my decision. The Blue Sky humbuckers exceeded all expectations. Everything I craved from those vintage pickups was there beyond what I thought was possible. I couldn't be happier and I'm left thinking Sheptones belong in all my guitars.

s amazing. It would be easy to say anything would have been better than what was there, but I had a particular sound in mind. I was looking for a pickup that could deliver the warm, clean tone ES-335's are famous for. From there I knew I would be able to dial in almost anything. The Sheptone's delivered! I'm still working with (what I imagine will be) the endless sound/tone possibilities with my two different setups.
Jeff's customer service was great. I had several questions prior to pulling the trigger and he was there every step of the way. Jeff was quick to respond to all my inquires.I would gladly purchase again from sheptone. If you are looking for a high quality pick up that isn't mass produced, try a sheptone.
Highly recommended!! Read LessRead less about I finally got my set of Sheptone
e not lost in the mix. I can actually hear my guitar in the band. The other thing is that it opens your heart to inspiration and makes you play more. My quest for vintage tone for this guitar is done. Read LessRead less about My Traditional L.P. always sounded
er used the neck pup as much as i have now with the Blue Sky set. A fantastic addition the PAF roster, regardless if you're a Betts fan or not. I try not to have pickup repeats in my collection but may make an exception with these, they're that good! Read LessRead less about While I did not buy these direct from
