I often get asked how to install our ThroBak Butyrate M-69 humbucker mounting rings to a guitar. ThroBak M-69 humbucker mounting rings are the perfect complement to ThroBak PAF reproduction humbucker guitar pickups but of course you want to make sure they fit your guitar correctly. The good news is, with ThroBak M-69 humbucker guitar pickup mounting rings, installation is usually as simple as screwing them to the guitar top. Vintage M-69 mounting rings were molded with flat bottoms just like ThroBak M-69 humbucker mounting ring reproductions. And since ThroBak uses the vintage correct Butyrate plastic formulation, our ThroBak M-69 humbucker mounting rings will conform to the top carve without cracking, just like vintage M-69 rings. So if you are installing ThroBak M-69 humbucker mountings rings on a Gibson Historic Les Paul, ES-335 or SG the fit should be perfect without any trimming or sanding. However if your guitar is more arched you may need to trim and sand the rings to avoid too much distortion to the mounting rings. This video by Dan Erlewine does a great job showing how to trim and sand humbucker pickup mounting rings to fit your guitar if the top has a more pronounced contour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBusI7wEjOc -Jon Save 20% off ThroBak ER-Custom PAF clones or the ThroBak Overdrive Boost effect pedal.

Gary was famous as one of the first to recognize the importance of a vintage Les Paul guitar equipped with PAF pickups plugged through a Marshall Amp and the resulting rock tones, as demonstrated below. Okay you asked for it! ThroBak shop tour video #2 where I give some cool information about the Leesona 102 and Leesona 102B winders we use to wind some of our PAF humbucker pickup repros. These old coil winding machines have a long history of making classic pickups for not only Gibson but also DeArmond. We have several models of pickups wound on the Lessons 102. Go to our PAF humbucker pickup repro page to choose your model. Our friends at the Chicago Music Exchange did this demo of a Collings City Limits Standard in Tobacco Sunburst featuring a glorious set of ThroBak ER-Custom MXV P.A.F. humbucking pickups. Watch, listen and enjoy! It's the 50th Anniversary of the MKII Professional Tone Bender effects pedal. In 1965 Gary Hurst created the original Tone Bender effects pedal and changed the sonic landscape forever. 50 years later the ThroBak Stone Bender is a faithful tonal reproduction of the fabled 3 germanium Sola Sound Tone Bender effects pedal MKii Professional used by Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and other greats too numerous to mention!
Introducing the ThroBak ESG-102B P.A.F. humbucker.
Cloned from a '64 SG, the ESG-102B P.A.F. humbuckers have the same snarl and bite in the bridge and acoustic depth in the neck of the original PAF humbuckers installed in ES-335 and SG guitars of this era. Wound on our 1957 Leesona 102B for the ultimate in vintage winding accuracy, these PAF clones have the same average 7.5k resistance and short A5 bridge, short A2 neck magnet combination typical of vintage PAF spec., Patent # humbuckers. If you want the period correct pickups for your early '60's ES or SG style guitars the ESG-102B pickups are it! Introducing Kid Andersen Signature Custom Medium electric guitar strings from ThroBak. These strings are made with a hex core and are Nickel wound to Kid Andersen’s own specs. They provide a more powerful signal to the pickup than a pure Nickel wound string. Combined with a hex core Kid Andersen Signature strings have a more strident and snappy response. A great choice for players with an aggressive attack. Made in U.S.A. using only the finest U.S.A. wire. Custom Medium gauge 11-49 (.011, . 014, .018, .028, .038, .049).
