"Selling this pair of pickups from my tokai les paul. Good for blues and various other genres, but not for metal and hard rock as it is not wax potted, just a note for guitarist out there"

Special Pickup "The Fifty Nine"

"The Fifty Nine" is a pickup full of reality that completes the sound while comparing it with the "1959 Burst" We repeatedly changed the materials of all magnets and rolled cardbaord pieces, and finally completed it for the sake of sound. Pickup mounting position mounted it closer and installed it in the best position for more burst.

"The pickups are Japanese versions of SD 59s; they call them The Fifty Nine, and they are marked on the back as MH-2 N and MH-2 B."
