any pups that have the feel,tone of a PAF but just hotter?

[roadstar II]

I read that once you wind a pup past say 9K it will not have that PAF mojo anymore?
I love the feel and tone of the 59, or dimarzio PAF but need some more output maybe a 3rd more output?

What are the specs on it -- DC resistance, magnet, etc.?

I've always considered the CC to be the Seth Hot, and the Custom 5 to be the 59 Hot.
Even though they're both 14.4K, they lean more toward a vintage sound than a hot metally vibe. I think the end result is that all 4 of those pickups are my favorites, and I just decide whether a guitar needs vintage or higher output, and A5 or A2.

I have a set of Schaller golden age buckers that are 12K for the bridge and like 9K for the neck. They are Alnico 5 magnet pickups and they seem to capture the PAF vibe but are around the hotness range you are looking for. PM me if you may be interested.

Don't forget Alnico 3 and 4.
