Modern PAF

Old Bones Pickups

£115

This is a modern take on the PAF style humbucker. These have been voiced to have a higher output than standard PAF pickups, giving great bite when needed, but also brilliant cleans. They are truly responsive to how you play, showing off when you're picking lightly versus digging in hard for leads lines. They come with AlNiCo IV magnets. This gives the pickups great overall definition and clarity, with slightly better sustain than A5 counterparts. They also have slightly fuller mids whilst retaining a full low end and bright highs. This combination has made them one of my best selling pickups.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as OLD BONES PICKUPS LTD, number 13626042. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
