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.
