"...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.

Gibson SG 2009 faded special upgrade 🤘🤘

by Anders Nilsson

Hello

I play guitar … and a lot of them. My girlfriend say what do you need them all for. As you know we guitar nerds need them all. I have expensive guitars and cheep. This one I am thinking of today is my Gibson SG special faded. I played this one years ago by I stopped it was muddy. I changed the stock pickups to the 59 clones. Ohhhh yes the muddy mess is gone . Now it is a clear rock machine. They fitted great in the bat scratch plate. Super great. I am happy.

Perfect 59 Clone Pickup for ES 335

by David Demus -

I was looking for a vintage sound out of my Gibson ES 335 and the stock Gibson t-type sounded ok but were way to aggressive and biting so I was looking to change. I knew Mojo Tone made quality pups as I have a set of Tele Quite Coils in my vintage Telecaster. So after doing a bunch of research I decided to try the 59 Clone set and I am very glad I did. These pups are not wax potted but do distortion extremely well and are very quiet. Neck pickup has that creamy full sound without the mud of so many neck buckers and the notes ring out. The bridge pup has just enough cut through for blues rock tone and does well with distortion and overdrive. The middle position is tone heaven and all 3 positions work great with volume and tone selection changes. All in all the perfect pickup combo for what I was looking for. Well done Mojo Tone!
