The PG has a A2 magnet that gives it more warmth than the 59.

My experience with both those pups has been the following:
1. PG
-Compresses very well - is round and tight when pushed with high-gain.
2. '59
-A bit "glassier" than the PG. Still smooth, but not as fat.
Both are great pickups. I like the PG the best. It was meant for a Les Paul.

Doc Barlo would tell you that the difference between an A2 59 and a PG would be that the PG has a bit more upper-mids.

They're pretty close if they both have A2s. Just the PG would be a little brighter.

Jeremy's right on! The PG has less bass and like the Seth Lover and Antiquity, that makes it easier for me to get a clearer rythym tone.
Generally, a2 gives a humbucker more mids and softer bass and treble. But the PG uses unbalanced coils which makes the mids more transparent and brighter and the treble a little more extended.
I kind of like alnico 2 HB's like the PG, Seth and Antiquity for the neck position and the 59B or 59TB as a bridge bucker, where the deep bass of the 59B is more appropriate...tho the a2 CC sure works well in my semi hollowbody Monoco.
