Blown 59

The Blown 59 is our highest output humbucker. Overwound, yet vintage-oriented, its most distinctive feature is a spongy attack that matches perfectly with a dimed-out tube stack. It’s aggressive without being harsh, even at high volumes. It has a warm sustain with rich complex harmonics and strong midrange. The low-end response is chunky, but restrained. The result is a hot-rodded player's dream pickup with great articulation and dynamic range. And don't forget to roll back the volume for some of the most amazingly rich clean tones. The Blown 59 also splits extremely well for surprising versatility. The Blown 59 works great as a set, or pair the bridge with some 60s Fats for a monster "super-strat" configuration. Alnico II magnets. Output: ~9.3k neck, ~11.5k bridge. Available in nickel, zebra or black. All Grosh pickups are wax potted and handcrafted in our shop using only the highest quality components.

Testimonials

"I bought an NOS Retro (Metallic Ocean Turquoise) a few weeks ago from Brian's Guitars and after playing it I had to contact you to tell you how amazing it is. I absolutely love this guitar. It blows any other electric guitar I've played away. There is not one single flaw and is absolutely perfect from the sound, to the playability, to the amazing finish (I love the color)."

"I’ve been looking for that early 60’s tone in a rosewood, and late 50’s in a maple. These [NOS Retros] fit the bill perfectly! ... Earlier in the day, I played my [other boutique guitar] and two of my custom built strats, as well as an original ’64 Strat. These KILL them (at least to my ears)! Got them home and played them through my rig (2 Carr Ramblers, one clean and one dirty) … and WOW!!! ... A sincere THANK YOU for building such wonderful instruments, from great tone woods, with meticulous attention to detail, quality, and fit-n-finish … as well as the best feeling necks in the world!"

"Today I was at Eddie’s guitars ... while there I played a Set Neck Custom and was absolutely floored. It is at home with me now and I am proud to say I could not set it down for 3+ hours. The clarity, the fit and feel, the weight, the neck dimensions, etc. suit me better than any other guitar I own. I have numerous custom shop Gibby's, Nash Strats and Teles, K-Lines, a Duesenberg, a Lentz, Andersons, etc. And while I love them all, I can honestly say that in 30 years of playing I have never picked one up that was so totally perfect as this one ... This one is a lifer - and I will be back for more!"
