The introduction says that the PAF was the first humbucking pickup, but then says that there were earlier ones. This needs to be clarified. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 20:57, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Even with mention of the FilterTron, it's still wrong. The first humbucker was the Rickenbacker Multiple, featured on the Combo 800 model of guitar in 1953-4. The PAF was only #3. 173.228.54.18 ( talk) 18:48, 29 June 2014 (UTC) reply

That's interesting. I didn't know that, but Rickenbacker also invented the first solid guitar. They saw no future in it! -- Deke42 ( talk) 18:38, 18 May 2016 (UTC) reply
