TB-59
Summary
Trembucker version of the 59 Model bridge pickup is a versatile
P.A.F. humbucker with an articulate treble attack, full bottom end, and
scooped midrange.
Description
The 59 Trembucker
bridge model is great for all types of rock and blues. The vintage style
coils give it an airy quality that keep this pickup planted firmly in
the P.A.F. family, and 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. Pair with the 59 neck model for an evenly
balanced output and tone. Trembuckers have wider pole piece spacing,
perfect for symmetrical positioning under the strings of guitars with a
tremolo or wide spaced hard tail bridge (2 or wider from the center of
the Low E to High E directly over the bridge pickup). Hand built in our
Santa Barbara, CA factory, the 59 Trembucker uses an alnico 5 bar
magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple
wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
