CL59

The CL59 is our tribute to the clear, expressive Strat tones that defined the late 1950s. Wound with Double Build Heavy Formvar wire and featuring staggered Alnico 5 magnets, the CL59 delivers exceptional clarity, sparkling highs, and remarkable note separation.

With a DC resistance of approximately 4.5kΩ per pickup, the CL59 offers an open and dynamic response that allows the natural voice of your guitar to shine through. The lower resistance is a result of the thicker Formvar insulation, which fills the bobbin with fewer turns while retaining the vintage character, articulation, and chime that players love.

From glassy cleans to edge-of-breakup tones, the CL59 provides the touch sensitivity, clarity, and bell-like sparkle that made the original Stratocasters legendary.
