TB-59 Trembucker - Zebra

Trembucker version of the 59 Model bridge pickup is a versatile PAF humbucker with an articulate treble attack, full bottom end, and scooped midrange.

Designed to deliver classic P.A.F. tone with modern construction, the ’59 (SH-1/TB-59) vintage output humbucker pickup’s open, detailed sound and sweet top end make it the perfect choice for rock and blues.

The ’59 bridge model (SH-1/TB-59) is a vintage output humbucker that’s great for rock, blues, and more. Its vintage-inspired coils give it an airy quality that is firmly in the P.A.F. family, and the alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potting make it compatible with lighter guitar strings and louder amplifiers than were ever used in the 1950s. The result is a pickup with tons of old-school tonal character, but with a brighter top end, and a slightly more compressed sound.

Offered in 6-string standard humbucker and Trembucker spacings, the ’59 model features a variety of traditional vintage treatments, such as 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate, vintage single-conductor braided push back lead wire, and no logo. If you opt for a four-conductor version for coil splitting, the ’59’s single coil mode is crystal clear. As with all of our P.A.F.-style pickups, the ’59 vintage output humbucker is wound on Seymour’s classic Leesona 102 pickup winding machine from the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI. Also available for neck and bridge in a passive mount 7-string configuration.
