🔥 VINTAGE SPEC 1959 HUMBUCKER – MIKE BLOOMFIELD EDITION 🔥
Sweet Sustain. Soulful Mids. Chicago Fire in a Sunburst Shell.
🎸 INSPIRED BY MIKE BLOOMFIELD’S 1959 LES PAUL
Before Clapton, Page, or Duane... Bloomfield lit the match.
His 1959 Les Paul—the one you hear on Highway 61 Revisited, Super Session, and East-West—was raw, vocal, and alive.
This set captures that early PAF tone before pedalboards, mods, or overwound hype.
đź§Ş IT'S A REAL 1959 PAF SET
This isn’t a guess. It’s a clone of a 1959 PAF set—built to match the feel and fire of Bloomfield’s tone.
-
Plain Enamel wireÂ
-
Alnico magnets
-
Unpotted coils for full harmonic bloom
-
Wound for touch-sensitivity and dynamic response
The result? A pickup that sings when you play soft… and screams when you dig in.
🔊 THE VOICE OF '59 CHICAGO BLUES
