Gowen 57-59 PAF+

With our first pickup, the Gowen 57-59 humbucker, we wanted to create a pickup that sits just beyond traditional vintage PAF output, delivering richer mids, improved sustain and a more confident push into the amp — while retaining the openness and response that players love about classic designs.

The result is a medium-output, classic-rock-voiced humbucker that excels across clean, edge-of-breakup and overdriven tones. Notes remain articulate under gain, chords stay defined, tone is shaped naturally by picking dynamics and volume/tone knob changes.

With four-conductor wiring as standard, the pickups also support coil-splitting and series/parallel options, giving players genuine versatility without compromising the core tone.
