Way up in Australia's Far North is a town called Cairns - one of my favourite destinations. There's a shop up there called Reuben's Guitar Repairs. As well as servicing all of the local's guitars, they also produce their own guitars and pickups. This set was sent to me to check out and they're pretty great!
Description in Reuben's own words:
"...LP Historic Upgrade Set, PAF Style Winds. Neck Pickup is 7.8k, 42AWG Wire, A5 Mag, coil tap wire, I call it a "NAF" which stands for Nice As... Really singing highs and you can even get pinch harmonics from it! Bridge is 8.8k, 42AWG Wire, A2 Mag, it's called a NAF Plus! Bridge is meaty and complex and also has plenty of harmonics, these pickups are all Handwound by me and are (AUD)$195 each and Nickel Covers are $35 each extra, Gold Covers are $40 each extra."
