A Seymour Duncan Classic: The Spirit of the '59 in a Single-Coil Format

The Little '59 captures the sonic DNA of the famous '59 humbucker and translates it into a single-coil pickup format, ideal for Strat-style guitars. The result: a rounder and thicker tone than a traditional single-coil, while maintaining excellent definition and true musicality across playing nuances.

For Which Styles and Guitarists?

Designed for those who want to thicken the bridge position without switching to an overly aggressive pickup, the Little '59 excels in blues, rock, hard rock, but also remains expressive in jazz, country, funk, and more rootsy sounds. Compared to a JB Junior, it offers less gain, with more emphasized mids for singing leads and full rhythms.

Wiring Versatility and Adjustments: A Richer Bridge Tone Without Modifying the Guitar

Thanks to its passive design and 4 conductors, this pickup opens the door to many wiring options, such as coil splitting or parallel wiring, allowing you to switch from a solid humbucker sound to more airy textures. Its adjustable pole pieces allow you to refine output level and string balance to adapt the pickup's response to your string gauge, height adjustment, and playing style. It fits into a single-coil cavity without heavy modification and is handmade in Santa Barbara, California (USA), featuring a ceramic magnet.
