A "Custom Hybrid" at the Heart of the Seymour Duncan Range

The SH-16 "59 Custom Hybrid" is designed to offer a rare balance: the musicality and openness of a vintage-style pickup, with added power and bite to better drive your amp. The result: a bridge pickup that maintains definition even when played hard, while retaining an organic tone suitable for traditional styles.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

Geared towards blues, rock, pop, and classic rock, this pickup is aimed at guitarists who want to cover a wide repertoire with a single humbucker: rich chords, punchy riffs, and solos that cut through the mix. It is especially suitable if you seek a dynamic sound that responds to guitar volume and playing intensity.

Dynamics, Split Coil, and Precision: A Bridge Pickup That Remains Clear

With its 11.5 k resistance and a peak at 5.95 KHz, the SH-16-N targets an articulate output: present highs without harshness, mids that add character, and a tight response to avoid a "muddy" effect when overdriven. The split coil feature (via 4-conductor wiring) adds real versatility to expand your sonic palette, whether for more open rhythm tones or more percussive sounds depending on your wiring.

Questions frequently asked

Is the Seymour Duncan SH-16-N suitable for blues and classic rock?

Designed for blues, rock, pop, and classic rock, this bridge humbucker combines an Alnico V magnet with a resistance of 11.2 kΩ. It maintains a dynamic response suitable for chords, riffs, and solos.

Can this Seymour Duncan bridge pickup be coil-split?

The 4-conductor wiring allows for coil-splitting. This configuration provides access to airier or more percussive tones depending on the chosen setup.

What is the output level of the SH-16-N at the bridge?

With a resistance of 11.2 kΩ, this model delivers more bite than a strictly vintage humbucker. Clarity remains even with strong attack and overdrive.

What tonal character does its 5.95 kHz peak provide?

The resonance peak at 5.95 kHz promotes present highs without harshness. Pronounced mids add character, while the tight response limits muddiness under distortion. The dual coil winding also helps reduce interference.
