Micro-Stealth PAF Humbucker for Archtop Jazz Guitar
SOLD OUT! More Soon. The Micro-Stealth is most innovative floating pickup for Archtop Jazz-guitar in decades. Engineered for a warm, clean and flattering "Jazz" sound. Uses custom manufactured low-intensity magnets and real hardwood spacers to achieve a vintage tone with a modern "bite," strong attack, and three-dimensional sounding overtones. The standard version is 6.5 mm thick and quickly and easily mounts in seconds with included putty and a 1/4" female jack which attaches to your endpin. Please note: appearance may vary slightly from stock photos: some pickups have a small logo on the front.
The Micro-Stealth PAF Humbucker is a favorite of custom modern builders and is now featured on select archtops by Emerald and Fibonacci and a growing list of custom builders. The PAF is an excellent higher output alternative to the traditional Kent Armstrong style pickups.

My 1966 Harmony arch-top jazz guitar just got new life with a (Micro-Stealth PAF) humbucking pickup made by Portland's Jason Krivo Flores. It has the perfect combination of attack, bite, warmth and gently pushed mid-range that I was struggling to find in other pickups—Now I want one for every guitar I have!" |

Players have been asking me for years to develop a low-profile Jazz humbucker for “old-school” style archtop guitars which have limited space between the top and strings. The Micro PAF pickup gives players what they have asked for: an adjustable 12-pole PAF style humbucker with a thick warm and punchy “Jazz” sound, all at an incredible mere 6 mm thickness.
Engineered for a warm, clean and flattering "Jazz" sound, the Micro-Stealth uses custom manufactured low-intensity neodymium magnets and real hardwood spacers to achieve a surprisingly sweet attack with three-dimensional sounding overtones. DC resistance ≈ 8.2Kohms 
The Micro-Stealth PAF is standard on the new Kestrel archtop from Emerald Guitars
