Manhattan's 59 – PAF Humbucker Alnico 2 and 3 pickup – MHS

The Manhattans'59 is the replica of a PAF from the Gibson Custom shop that is found on many models: the MHS (Memphis Historic Specifications). More recent and less known than the Custom Bucker , it has conquered the ears of demanding guitarists with a balance close to perfection for fans of vintage PAFs. It is both warm for the neck pickup and edgy for the bridge pickup, while remaining very musical and balanced. Some consider it one of the best microphone sets in the world. The Alnico 3 of the neck pickup provides both velvety feel and great musicality in its clean sound and it is as rappy as possible as soon as you heat up the amp tubes. The bridge pickup is equipped with an Alnico 2 magnet which provides a little more bite with a higher output level while suppressing the highs so that they never take over. This PAF 59 is at home in absolutely all registers of Vintage, from Jazz to Classic Rock and Hard Rock including Soul, Rhythm'n Blues, Blues of course! And mount it on an ES-335 or a Sheraton and you'll make a crazy Blues/Funk like Freddy King. Going Down, Down, Down!
