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.

"Just wanted to pass along my sincere thanks for the fantastic job you guys did on the Plum Crazy Sunset 79. It is beyond words. The look, fit, finish, and tone are simply off the charts. The neck is to die for ... and the pickups are unreal--they growl--but also clean up enough to deliver excellent low to mid gain tones. The frets ... absolutely tremendous. And who doesn't like Plum Crazy? These factors combined produce a world class guitar."

"When I got my Set Neck Custom, I was astounded. This thing was several pounds lighter [than my LP] but had amazing sustain, and the playability is unlike anything I played. This thing murders that old LP in every category: fit and finish, sound, feel, and most importantly playability. Several months later I sold my "nice" F-branded strat and got a Retro Classic S...same experience as before! The RC is better in every way from any strat I've had my hands on. I'm now looking to dump a few more guitars and find an Electrajet VT to round out the collection. I don't know what you guys are doing to these things at the factory, but please keep doing it!"
