Here's a pair of PsychoPAF PF-1 humbucker pickups. These retail from £129 each, so here's a great saving on the pair. These were designed for the Manson Guitarworks Matt Belamy / MUSE guitar and are handwound here in the UK. 
The PF-1 is our founding design to provide specific tones for an early Manson project guitar, later revealed as the pickup for the Matthew Bellamy DR-1 Drone Guitar. Tone requirements were for a full but clear overdrive that veered towards the garage and industrial side of the tonal spectrum rather than the softer or highly saturated overdrive sound. As such it retains clarity and a bright top end together with a full low-end.It's punchy and powerful, ranking amongst our high output models. Loaded with an Alnico V magnet, 15.1k on the bridge version and 12.2k on the calibrated neck model. Balanced highs, punchy mids and rich, yet tight bass response the PF-1 works well in a wide range of musical styles where fatter output is required. Ideal for Rock/Alt Metal/Punk.

This particular pair were fitted by Seth Baccus to the Nautilus guitar pictured - they're really superb sounding pickups that tonally I can't fault, but I have a soft spot for zebra coils so am swapping them for aesthetic reasons. Tonally I would describe them as a very versatile humbucker - on clean and light gain settings they're quite PAF-like with lots of clarity but the ability to drive the amp, and then on higher gain settings they really roar - they're really great high quality pickups.

As you can see in the pictures, they come with double black bobbins and black slug/pole pieces for a very stealthy look. They have 4 core wiring to allow a range of coil split options. 

The pickups are in superb condition with only light signs of use. They'll come carefully packed in a Bare Knuckle Pickups box (that I happen to have spare) with 4x springs and 4x screws. I'll also include the original purchase receipt.
