Inspired by Peter Green's legendary 1959 Les Paul!
The Bare Knuckle PG Blues humbucker set is designed to recreate the unmistakable sound of Peter Green's famous 1959 Les Paul, including its legendary out-of-phase tone when both pickups are engaged.
The PG Blues set features sand-cast Alnico II magnets, scatter-wound bridge coils using 42 AWG plain enamel wire, and specially wound Heavy Formvar neck coils to reproduce the distinctive out-of-phase sound of the middle pickup position.
Vintage-correct solid nickel silver baseplates and covers, combined with unpotted coils, contribute to the expressive, vocal-like character, sweet yet articulate highs, and warm bass response associated with Peter Green's signature tone.
On its own, the bridge humbucker delivers a classic '59 PAF sound with the open, touch-sensitive response of unpotted coils.
The neck humbucker, despite its reversed phase relationship with the bridge pickup, retains a rich, full-bodied tone with plenty of warmth and clarity.
From expressive lead lines and delicate chord work to powerful blues rock, the PG Blues set offers authentic vintage character with a distinctive voice of its own.
