'59 Modern Humbucker Pickup
Are you looking for our '59 Clone with 4-conductor leads, short leg frames, and maybe even F-spacing as an option? Our '59 Modern is the perfect choice for bridging the gap between modern needs and achieving our most popular vintage '59 Clone P.A.F. humbucker sound.
The 59' Modern is wound with exactly the same specifications as our most popular '59 Clone, but with modern options to accommodate for more guitars and tonal capabilities. Shorter leg frames allow them to fit shallower routes, 4-conductor leads expand your wiring capabilities, and optional F-spacing accommodates for wider, more modern bridge position string spacings.
Each pickup is very clear and warm with lots of single note articulation. The upper frequency range has exceptional bloom and lots of airy tone with "lightly" 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.
All come stock with 4-conductor leads, standard or F-spacing, short leg frames, and lightly wax potted coils.

The tone in Mojotone
by Daniel Ott
I recently bought a set of modern PAF humbuckers from you guys and after looking for a link to leave feedback (probably my fault) I decided to just email you.
I've been playing PAF style humbuckers for decades, some real ones from the old days and some new attempts at making a good PAF. My last purchase before Mojotone was TV Jones Starwood humbuckers which are stellar. But.... Hat's off to Nick Eldred who wound the set I just got from you a while back. They're just fabulous and sound just as good as any of my old PAF's I used to run. They let your fingers do the talking and retain chime and even response without the massive bump in midrange most PAF's including Gibson in my opinion, suffer from. That's also what I like about the TV Jones. I'm glad to see he has some competition!
I'll be ordering more soon.
Regards, Danny Ott

Great Pickup
by Cooper W.
I put the bridge model in a PRS S2 Mira to go with a Seth Lover neck, and this thing is fantastic. It nails the “tele on steroids” description people use to describe PAFs. Plenty of grit, pick chirp, mid-honk, 3D depth, and dynamic range to be found in this pickup. I’m realizing alnico 4 just might be my ideal humbucker magnet. I recommend it.
As a side the shorter mounting legs and 4-conductor wire were useful additions in my application, as the Mira has a pretty shallow body depth.
