Vintage-Inspired Pickup - The '59 bridge model is a vintage output humbucker, perfect for rock, blues, and more, offering tons of old-school character but with a brighter top end and a slightly more compressed sound.
Versatile Humbucker - Vintage-inspired coils give the '59 bridge pickup an airy quality that is firmly in the P.A.F. family, and the alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potting make it compatible with lighter guitar strings and louder amplifiers than were ever used in the 1950s.
Authentic Tone - The '59 model is designed in the spirit of the original P.A.F. humbuckers of the 1950s, with sweet sustain, and a warm, full sound that still possesses a clear attack.
Traditional Vintage Appointments - The '59 model features a variety of traditional vintage specs, such as 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate, vintage single-conductor braided push back lead wire, and no logo.
Made in the USA - The '59 Vintage Output Humbucker Bridge Pickup is wound on Seymour's classic Leesona 102 pickup winding machine from the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI.
