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, touch sensitivity and dynamic 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, and the guitar responds naturally to picking dynamics and volume-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.
