For players who love the organic clarity and dynamic touch of a great vintage PAF, but need more output, fatter mids, and hotter upper harmonics to cut through the mix, the Eternal Super-PAF delivers.
Using the same period-correct materials and construction techniques as our acclaimed PAF Replicas, the Super-PAF takes things further with a proprietary blended coil wind that enhances upper-mid presence, adds sizzle and harmonic content, and fattens the overall voice — all while preserving the open, touch-sensitive feel that makes PAFs so revered.
More Power, Still Vintage at Heart
The Super-PAF was developed specifically for the bridge position, where a little extra power and midrange push helps balance with lower-output neck pickups, while adding just the right amount of extra heat for lead work. Despite the added output, it still retains the woody, dynamic character and harmonic complexity that defines a great PAF — never muddy, never sterile.
Coil-Split Ready for Maximum Flexibility
Wound with four-conductor hook-up wire, the Super-PAF was also carefully voiced to deliver authentic, usable single-coil tones when split. That means you can go from hot-rodded PAF punch to articulate single-coil chime with the flick of a switch — perfect for players who need their guitar to cover more ground.
