David White Old Glories 1959 PAF Humbuckers
Old Glories sell for $2,000 to $3,000 on the open market if you can even find a real set. Most are locked away in collector cases. Some never leave the original guitars they were pulled from. That is the void ToneSpec fills. The David White Legend Series PAF is here for the players who want the feel and authority of a true 1959 voice without gambling on used gear from thirty years ago.
David White was the quiet genius behind the Old Glories. His work showed players what a real PAF could feel like. The bloom. The harmonic lift. The way a note hangs on the edge of clean and grit. ToneSpec carries that forward with modern consistency and the best warranty in the business.
You get hand guided coils. You get the same musical compression that made Old Glories famous. You get the clarity and vocal midrange that session players still talk about. This is the character people chased on forums for years. Now you can get it without spending collector money.
These amazing PAFs come from a direct study of original Old Glories sets and the 1959 references that informed them. Every coil is wound using variable tension. Every magnet is aged for musical response. Every pickup is tested until it feels alive in the hands.
ToneSpec gives you the sound that defined the legend. And you get the lifetime warranty that used gear can never offer.
The David White 1959 Old Glories. Built for players. Backed for life. And now it’s yours if you are ready to upgrade from average to elite.
