Monty's Guitars draws inspiration from Band Of Gypsys era Hendrix and a '58 Burst for its new Overspun PAF humbucker and Strat pickup sets

Monty's pickups.

Aside from the fact their clients include David Gilmour, Radiohead, Pete Townshend and Pat Metheny, Cheltenham's Monty's Guitars make world-class pickups the rest of us can upgrade our guitars with. Founder Matt Gleeson and his talented team produce one of the greatest vintage-style PAF designs you can find anywhere and last year expanded the range with a special set inspired by Greeny. Now they've gone OverSpun and they might just have made the ultimate recipe to please players who don't want to go full vintage.

"We have been looking to release a set of PAFs that are at the hotter end of the vintage spectrum for a while," Matt tells us. "Most PAF stats fall into a fairly constant ballpark, some were a little hotter and some a little cooler, this was due to the less than accurate vintage build specifications of yesteryear.
