Seymour Duncan | SH-1b ’59 Humbucker – Bridge – Single Conductor *B-Stock*

The Seymour Duncan SH-1b ’59 humbucker pickup represents a harmonious blend of classic P.A.F. tone and modern craftsmanship. This pickup is meticulously designed to offer a sonic experience that transcends eras, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts of rock and blues music.

At its core, the ’59 bridge model embodies vintage output sensibilities that lend themselves beautifully to rock, blues, and a spectrum of musical genres. Drawing inspiration from the iconic P.A.F. pickups, it boasts vintage-inspired coils that infuse your sound with an ethereal quality reminiscent of the golden age of guitar tones. What sets it apart from its predecessors is the alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potting, innovations that equip it for compatibility with lighter guitar strings and more robust amplifiers than the ones prevalent in the 1950s. The outcome is a pickup that exudes the rich tonal character of yesteryears but with a subtly brighter top end and a touch of compression.

The ’59 model is a testament to Seymour Duncan’s commitment to preserving vintage authenticity. It incorporates an array of traditional vintage treatments, such as the use of 42AWG plain enamel magnet wire, a long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate, vintage single-conductor braided push-back lead wire, and a discreet absence of logos. Notably, every ’59 vintage output humbucker is meticulously wound on Seymour’s classic Leesona 102 pickup winding machine, a relic from the hallowed halls of the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI. This attention to detail culminates in a pickup that seamlessly marries the timeless charm of vintage sound with contemporary playability.
