Les called them MudBuckers...

The rumor is that Les did not like humbucking pickups… nothing could be farther from the truth! What he didn’t like was the production humbuckers that came stock in the guitars with his name on them! Actually, Les was working with humbucking technology since early 50’s. Les didn’t like the muddy low notes, the lack of string separation, the fizzy & flubby mid and highs, and the lack of that 3D musical presence that he knew great humbuckers were capable of. That is, if they were made right… with the right materials, the right formulas, the right wind technique, and the right attention to detail. “It’s in there… I just know it”, he would proclaim. “I’ve heard it before from time to time, but these guitars sound so muddy! I’m going to show those guys at ‘corporate’ how it’s done”. So he and Tom Doyle began testing and trying everything, experimenting and tinkering… bringing his vast 75+ years of knowledge to this last lifelong pursuit. Just imagine for a moment if you had dedicated your life to developing the solid body electric guitar, and you didn’t like the tone and sound of guitar that had your name on the headstock… frustrating to say the least, right?

Well sadly, in 2009, good ‘ol Les passed away at the ripe old age of 94… and had not quite perfected his dream quest humbucker pickup system. Tom Doyle had been Les Paul’s right hand man for all things guitars, pickups, electronics, effects, live shows, and the like for over 45 years when Les passed away, and Tom was quite crestfallen and bereaved… it really took its toll. But after some years and looking forward in Les’ honor, Tom and his close friend Max Stavron decided to finish Les Paul’s Final Dream of the Ultimate Humbucker Pickup as an homage to their good friend, mentor and hero.

Les had an incredible passion for making things “just right”... and would tinker, test, and experiment on things he wanted to fix, tirelessly - almost to the point of obsession. His constant passion towards the end of his life was for getting the high-impedance humbucker to come alive, and deliver that clarity that he so desired. So, in honor of his longtime friend and mentor, Tom Doyle and his friend Max Stavron have brought Les Paul's Dream of a clear, articulate, blooming, harmonically lively Humbucker pickup to life...and they're now here for you to enjoy!
