Summary
Humbucker set consisting of our 59 Model neck & bridge delivers warm, full, PAF style tone to any dual humbucker instrument.
Description
While
these vintage style coils give the 59 Model humbuckers an airy quality
that keeps them planted firmly in the PAF family, the alnico 5 bar
magnet, and vacuum wax potting have been added to compensate for lighter
guitar strings and louder amplifiers than were ever used in the 50s.
The result is a pickup with tons of old-school tonal character, but with
a brighter top end, and a more compressed sound. The 59s are great for
all types of rock and bluesIn addition to the alnico 5 magnet and wax
potting, we hand build the 59 Model with a variety of traditional
vintage treatments, such as 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long legged
nickel silver bottom plate, vintage single-conductor braided push-back
lead wire, and no logo. As with all of our PAF style pickups, the 59
Model is wound on Seymours old Leesona winder from the early Gibson
factory in Kalamazoo, MI.
