These are lower output than our standard version, making them much more articulate and crisp while retaining the same amazing touch sensitivity. 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.

These '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. 

...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
