“…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 lower output than our standard version, making them much more articulate and crisp. 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 tones 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.
