59-Bucker Classic
These pickups are carefully handmade in my manufacture based in the south of Germany. The 59-Bucker series claims to carry on the design- and sound-standards of those legendary humbucker pickups from the mid 50´s.The Classic model is a uncompromising PAF-replica with Alnico-2 powering, uneven scatter winding, not wax potted to get a maximized musicality.

The 59-Bucker pickup-family will certainly offer a suitable model for every humbucker-fan. High-Gain workers might have also a look at the Zone-series humbucker. Optionally the pickups can be supplied with a high-quality covers made of thin nickel-silver (chrome finish) from German supplier Schaller.

Character:
Classic 1:1 PAF-replica, very clear, lots of highs, not too much weight in the middle-frequencies, tight bass foundation – best musicality, very direct response. Can sound Tele-like but never too harsh due to moderate Alnico-2 powering, a pickup for the connossieur. The intentional missing wax-potting** leads too a very open and unattenuated musicality. My private hint: this pickup needs at least 4,5 Kg of solid mahogani to discover its secrets.
* Hint: missing wax-potting can partially lead to feedback problems, especially with cover in high-gain and distortion modes
