'59 Clone Humbucker Pickup
"...if you want to get as close as possible to vintage Gibson humbucker tone, the ’59 PAF Clones are a great way to go." -Guitar Player Magazine, May 2014
The 59' "Patent Applied For" Clones are for the tone purist. Authentic to every detail using all American made parts. 1959 spec butyrate bobbins, 1959 spec long leg frame, custom vintage spec plain enamel wire, custom alnico 4 cast magnets, maple spacer, vintage spec screws, and vintage spec slugs.
These are very clear and warm with lots of single note articulation. The upper frequency range has exceptional bloom and lots of airy tone with the un-potted coils. We meticulously wound each coil with our own pattern and offset to represent what we believe to be the best vintage P.A.F. examples out there.
Stock with vintage single conductor external braided leads and 49.2mm string spacing just like the originals. Un-potted coils.

I just had a set of the 59 clones put into my Les Paul. These are incredible! They are crystal clear. Even when dirty every note rings true. Could not be happier!

I´ve put the unpotted ´59 clones in my 1997 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Man o man, these are great! Exactly what I was looking for in humbuckers: warm, clear with enough bite and twang, dynamic and very responsive. The note differentiation is wonderful, even distorted. Excellent pickups!
