'59 Clone Low Output 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 lower output than our standard version, making them much more articulate and crisp. Ideal for dark sounding guitars or just a neck pickup that needs a more single coil like clarity. 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.

I've always been a single coil guy. I recently decided I needed some humbuckers in my life, so I picked up a Les Paul w/ 57 classics in it. After using single coils for so long, the 57's were not to my liking; too inarticulate - the bridge was too hot and the neck was too muddy. I did some searching and found the Mojotone low output 59's and pulled the trigger, and I'm very glad I did! There exactly how I'd want a humbucker to sound: They have some power and fattness, but are still very articulate and totally lacking mud. If you're usually a single coil guy like me and want some fatness and punch while still maintaining some clarity, these are the pickups for you!

These low-wind 59 clones are amazing. They have spank and punch! I've been looking for pickups like this! Tele on steroids as they say!
