A completely original and fantastic
One KILLER Vintage Gibson 1959 DOUBLE WHITE Long Magnet PAF pickup
These are incredibly rare, we average about a pair of these a year if we're lucky. We've been very fortunate to have a few double whites, a zebra (one pair now sold) and three pairs of great 1959 double blacks find their way into our inventory this fall. We sometimes go more than a year without a single PAF in our inventory - now is the time to take advantage of being able to select an amazing set from a variety of our current offerings. Once they're gone, they're gone and we don't expect to see more any time soon!
The double-white PAF is a hands-down magical unicorn. Let's not forget that NOTHING looks cooler in a sunburst Les Paul than real-deal Double Whites.
Double Whites are often found to have been wound hotter than the standard double-black PAF and this one fits that trend perfectly reading in at a scorching 8.64k. 100% original, this pickup sounds absolutely magical.
This is a Standard Spaced PAF (NOT archtop spaced) and is identical to what Gibson installed in 1959 Bursts!
This is THEE ideal pickup for the restoration of your Burst, or the finishing touch on your 52/59 Conversion
Go the extra mile on your Makeover or Gibson Historic and deal with some REAL DEAL 1959 PAF TONE!
No repairs, no rewinds, PAF sticker is in great shape.
Don't miss this one! We generally sell out of PAFs very quickly!
