Description

Here's our best, most authentic take on the classic early 50's Strat sound- The 59 professional Series.

Made with all the good stuff- authentic black fiber bobbins, sand-cast Alnico V rod magnets, hand magnetized and set in the correct vintage stagger, beveled for the classic look and feel, heavy Formvar coil wire and even waxed cloth push-back wires.

The 59 Strat we used was wound strong- 7k bridge, 6.2k middle and 5.5K neck...and the combination of the Heavy Formvar wire and strong Alnico Magnets gave us a stronger, tighter sound...think early SRV- Rory Gallagher...you get the picture. Choose either a normal wound mid pickup or an RW/RP mid for hum canceling in positions 2 and 4. If you're a true vintage tone freak you'll go for standard wound to maintain maximum "quack"...but for the gigging musician, that hum canceling is awfully handy and you don't lose too much.

They are tested with the output impedance marked on the bottom bobbin plate, and come complete with nickel plated stainless steel mounting screws and silicone rubber springs.
