Vintage '59 Humbucker

Vintage '59 Humbucker

My original classic "vintage" humbucker, wound with a relatively high bobbin offset to give the pickups that sought-after vintage tone, with tight, clear lows and sparkly highs, great clarity and string definition.

Neck pickup uses a rough-cast A4 magnet and is hand-wound to approximately 7.4k, while the bridge has a rough-cast slightly degaussed A5 magnet and is wound to approximately 8.4k.

Made with 42awg plain enamel wire, butyrate bobbins*, nickel-silver baseplate, maple spacers and specially selected steel pole-pieces, slugs and keeper bars.

Available uncovered or with nickel, raw nickel, brushed nickel, chrome or gold covers. Bobbin options include double black, zebra, reverse zebra, double cream** or double white.

As standard these pickups are not wax potted to achieve a more open and detailed sound.

 DCR Neck: 7.4k, Bridge: 8.4k
Inductance Neck: 4.5.H, Bridge: 5.7H
Wire 42awg Plain Enamel
