“The most accurate recreations of the legendary Patent Applied For humbucker pickups ever made”: Gibson has brought back its “holy grail” ‘59 PAF set – but it’s going to cost you $999

Gibson 1959 Humbucker Collector’s Edition Series 1.

Gibson has introduced its first pair of exclusive, Collector’s Edition pickups – the ‘1959 Collector’s Edition Series 1’ set, which revives the brand’s “holy grail” Patent Applied For humbucker pickup design for a limited run.

However, the historic humbuckers return with a significant price tag attached to them – $999 a pair, to be precise, which makes this new-for-2024 set one of the most expensive pickup pairings on the market today.
