Our Classic 59’s are a faithful reproduction of the late 50’s P.A.F style humbucker. With these we pay homage to the pickup that kickstarted a rock and roll revolution. 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. The PAF lent itself well to all musical styles but has its roots in rock and blues. These guys are guaranteed to bring you back to the very roots of the humbucker tone.

IMPORTANT: These are period correct builds, the baseplates are long legged and may not fit in all guitars without some minor modification to the instrument. Please be aware of this before ordering.
