I've bought the 59/09 as a replacement for the HFS pickup in my Custom 22 guitar. Compared to the HFS it is much more articulate, has more top end and is less muffled. Coil split in it is also better as it is not as bright and shrill as the HFS so no need to adjust the tone knob everytime you switching the coil. The sound is superb and works in all styles. It's also perfect for down tunings as it handles low frequencies very well and remains perfect articulation. I can't recommend it enough. I will now need to order the matching 59/09 neck pickup as the VB is also a bit to dull.

Fantastic pickup
Scissorhead 25.01.2021
exceptionally clear, full and rich sounding pickup. EQ balance is perfect to my ears and the split sound is among the best I've heard.
One star deduction in terms of quality because I can't understand why they make the three conductor wiring so damn thin. Of course, this is also the case with most other brands so I guess we just have to accept it.

Es gibt keine besseren PU's!
Thomas W 20.02.2016
Ich hatte schon praktisch "alle" HiEnd PU's, die man so kaufen kann, aber zusammen mit den Gibson Custombuckern sind die 59/09 das Beste auf dem Markt!
Beste Artikulation, Saitentrennung, kein Gematsche beim Halspickup, genau die Richtige Mischung aus Vintage und Moderne. Die 59/09's sind in allen Musikstilen zuhause.
2 meiner PRS Gitarren hatten sie original verbaut, bei den anderen habe ich die HFS/Vintage Bass bzw. McCarty's gegen die 59/09's ausgetauscht - die klingen jetzt um Welten besser!
Ja es stimmt, sind sind sehr teuer - aber hiermit hat die Humbuckersuche ein Ende!!!

Modern vintage
Akseli 27.11.2018
It's been several years since I purchased these pickups from Thomann and replaced the Dragon II's of my PRS Custom 22. I haven't felt any urges for further experimentation. These pickups are extremely high quality, and the blend of modern and vintage was exactly what I was looking for. 5909's are very versatile and capable of producing tones ranging from heavy to dynamic cleans, which was one of my main requirements. In the past few years that I've used the 5909 pickups there hasn't been any problems with the wiring or anything at all. I highly recommend them for any guitar and guitarist.
