Häussel 1959 'Bridge' Custom+
The Häussel 1959 contains the still highly desirable and legendary PAF sound. After long development, many comparisons and extensive testing -
these variants have been decided upon. Made with the original wire, properly sized and charged magnets, with optimally matched winding - this pickup impresses with its silky tone.
Woody warm, in chords, cleanly separating strings and airy, yet nasally and not too dense. The very pleasant sweet treble register makes every note a delicacy, lets every solo become a feast for one's ears. At the same time, the 1959 smacks along powerfully with every attack and tips into harmonic overtones and feedbacks at any time without effort. A humbucker with a very large potential and exactly "the" pickup - when it comes to the authentic, vintage PAF sound.
The 1959 Bridge Custom+ is a hotter wound 1959 pickup with its approx. 11 kOhms of resistance. It has other steel pins - making it sound a bit more transparent and direct in the treble. Tonewise, it goes in the direction of a VIN + B A5 combination, without losing the PAF character.
