Classic 59’s are a faithful recreation of the old late 50’s P.A.F style humbucker. With these I pay homage to the pickup that kickstarted a rock and roll revolution. The PAF lent itself well to all musical styles but has it roots in rock and blues. The Classic 59's are and amazing choice either way you look at it. These guys are guaranteed to bring you back to the very roots of the humbucker tone.

Magnet: For the 59’s we like the Alnico 4. It provides a balanced EQ, with amazing dynamic range and sensitivity to how you play. The neck has a nice warm vintage vibe. The bridge is strong, clear and tight. Exactly what you can expect from a PAF era pickup.
