Take classic PAF character into the modern era with the Bare Knuckle PolyPaf Humbucker Set - Covered, Gold, available from Sky Music Australia. Designed as Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood’s signature humbucker set, the PolyPafs combine the exceptional dynamics, clarity, and three-dimensional response of authentic PAF-style pickups with the versatility, energy, and controlled performance demanded by modern players.

Built using 100% vintage-correct parts and drawing on the foundations of The Mule and Stormy Monday humbuckers, PolyPafs feature a custom wind offset using 42AWG Plain Enamel wire, unoriented Alnico V rough-cast magnets, and a unique combination of high-carbon steel slugs under the wound strings. Their judicious output balances dynamic headroom with rich midrange drive, while the open voice, controlled bass, and excellent string separation keep every note clear even with low tunings and heavy string gauges.

The bridge pickup delivers everything from plaintive cleans and vocal jazz-fusion leads to raunchy chords and aggressive high-gain riffing, while the neck pickup offers exceptionally sensitive, articulate, syrupy response that becomes woody and percussive when played hard. Finished with classic Gold covers, the PolyPaf set is equally at home in blues rock, neo-soul, classic rock, and modern metal, making it a versatile choice for solid-body, semi-hollow, baritone, and multi-scale guitars.
