Quote Dave Stephens " I had to laugh at some bozo on Ebay selling PAF pickups, he says in his auction that "each pickup is individual and no two are alike, just like the real PAFs were." What a f*cking amateur, you can bet he's buying his parts at StewMac and thinks he's a genius :-) I'm seeing more and more guys like that on Ebay, they scare me.....  
 
Some guys still wind by hand and test everyone that goes out, is this wrong? So what, I'm pretty sure they sound great, and if I remember every PAF was a little different weren't they? Just wound till the bobbin was full. No checking there much. So are these guys so much different and what makes them F*cking amatures dave? Did you atart out a pro? I admit there are some freaks out there selling pickups made in a winder made from popsicle sticks or something but some of those guys know how to wind a pickup and it doesn't take an extech meter to make it so. All they need is their ears and a brain and know how they wound the ones before and there you go.
