Humbucker True59
The humbucker True59 is my interpretation of a 1959 PAF. Faithful construction, hand-wound coils with authentic materials are the ingredients for a pickup that revives the sound of the original pickups of that time. The clear sound with sufficient depth forms the basis for the vintage character of this pickup. If you are looking for a pickup of this type, you can get one at MetzelGuitars at a fair price. The True59 is available optimized for the bridge or neck position.Technical data True59 Bridge
