    Why not a 59 plus?

    We have pearly gates and pearly gates plus, gibson 57 classic and 57 classic plus... Why not to have without going to custom shop...a regular production 59 wound to say at 9.5 or 10k? Until bobbins are full... Same pick up..same magnet...only overwound..regular production.

    Something like a 59b with more mids?

    Hi all! I would like a pick up like a 59b but with more mids..no alnico II...i find it lacks low end in comparison with alnico V... Any suggestions? The only thing that i think could do what i ask is a 498T..there is something better and maybe more vintage? Tnx a lot

So the C5 sounds like a 59 with more output or has more bass..more mids and less...
