Patent 59' Stratbucker Set

Patent ’59 Stratbuckers – Golden-Era PAF Tone for Your Stratocaster

The Patent ’59 Stratbuckers bring the magic of late-50s humbuckers into your Stratocaster without losing that unmistakable Strat clarity. Inspired by the legendary 1959 PAFs, these low-wind humbuckers deliver warmth, chime, and touch-sensitive dynamics — all in a Strat-sized form that drops right into your pickguard.

Vintage players will love the woody mids, sweet top end, and singing sustain. Modern players will appreciate how easily these pickups push an amp into rich overdrive while staying articulate and responsive.

Pickup Positions

• Neck Pickup (~7.5k DCR):
  The neck is a versatile gem that delivers smooth, woody tone with bell-like clarity. Perfect for rich chords, clean arpeggios, and soulful leads. Roll the volume back for sweet vintage PAF cleans, or turn it up to unlock a surprising amount of drive and sustain. A truly expressive pickup that’s as comfortable with jazz runs as it is with blues solos.
• Middle Pickup (~8.5k DCR):
  Don’t underestimate the middle! It’s your secret weapon for tonal variety. Dial in chunky, rhythmic tones or clear, singing solo sounds with ease. The middle pickup also shines when blended with the bridge or neck, unlocking classic Strat “in-between” tones — hum-free, balanced, and dynamic.
• Bridge Pickup (~9.5k DCR):
  Sculpt your sound with this dynamic bridge pickup. From glassy cleans to saturated lead tones with extended sustain, the bridge delivers a vast tonal palette. It has the bite, punch, and harmonic sparkle of a great 1959 PAF — perfectly balanced for modern amps yet true to its vintage roots.
