By 1957, these were replaced by the newly developed Gibson PAF double coil humbucker pickups, which were developed in the same year. [5] The pickups are adjusted by means of four potentiometers mounted on the top (one volume control and one tone control) and a three-stage toggle switch close to the cutaway at the neck.
