1959 Blues Strat® Pickup Set

Description

Obsession + Focus + Passion = Legendary Blues Tone

If you’re the type of player who believes blues tone is about feel and nuance—then you’re the type of player we built these for.

If you know that the way a Strat blooms under your fingers should be as expressive as your voice, then welcome in. You’ve found your pickups.

Obsession of Tone

The year 1959 was the turning point. Strats from this era had warmth, shimmer, and a depth that made them the ultimate blues machine. Capturing that wasn’t about cloning specs—it was about chasing feel.

“This is kind of where it all started for me. I was trying to build the perfect Blues Strat, but none of the 'blues' pickups on the market had the feel you need to really express yourself like those late 50s Strat Pickups. I set out to make the most expressive 50s style strat pickup with unmatched feel & warmth. I feel honored by the response of our clients”

— Randall Van Dyke (Founder, ToneSpec)

The 1959 Blues Strat Set delivers the voice of an era—open, soulful, and alive with nuance. Notes bend, bloom, and sing exactly the way blues demands.

This isn’t production. This is obsession—turned into tone.

Focus on Pro Tone

ToneSpec pickups aren’t just another option—they’re what pros reach for when they need the guitar to speak.

-Trusted by Grammy-winning composers

-Played by first-call session pros

-Built for players that demand the best for their music

And when you hear it from the players themselves, it hits even harder:

“Oh man, Randall, I really like the feel of these. Every note feels exactly like it should.”
— Wilbert Crosby Jr. (formerly of BB King Band)

“I’ve never played a Strat with this much dynamic range. When you play soft it’s clean, when you dig in they make the amp scream. These are killer”
— Mike Machado (Blues Guitarist)

Passion of Perfection

Perfection isn’t an accident—it’s deliberate.

-Built to vintage standards, matched for perfect string-to-string balance.

-Aged Proprietary Alnico magnets charged and tested for the soulful ’59 response.

-Each set goes through ToneSpec’s environmental protocol—temperature and humidity shifts—so they deliver night after night, gig after gig.

If you’re the type of player who believes tone should respond to your hands, not just your amp—you’ll hear it here.

Vintage Blues Tone without Vintage Prices

Original ’59 Strat pickups cost thousands—if you can even find them. This set gives you that same expressive voice, rebuilt for today—for a fraction of vintage, backed with a lifetime warranty.

And now they’re yours—if you’re ready to upgrade from average to elite.

Act fast—ToneSpec sets are built in small batches and often sell out before we restock
