A classic from the Seymour Duncan range to capture the "59" spirit
The SH-1B "59 Model" belongs to the line of vintage-character humbuckers: balanced, musical, and responsive to right-hand playing. Designed to reproduce the sonic aesthetic of late 1950s humbuckers, it delivers a blend of warmth, definition, and dynamics that define "old school" tones, while remaining perfectly usable in a modern context.For which guitarists and styles?
Designed for the bridge, this humbucker is an excellent choice if you're looking for a versatile pickup capable of moving from a spacious clean to a tight crunch, then to a singing overdrive. Its applications naturally cover Country, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Classic Rock, and Heavy Rock, with a response that respects the character of your guitar and amp.Sound character and design: dynamic, clear, and simple wiring
With its 8.13 K resistance and a 6 kHz peak, the SH-1B delivers a clear attack and strong presence while maintaining a rich harmonic foundation. Its 1-conductor braided wiring favors simple installation and faithful tone reproduction but means no coil split (no coil-splitting). Passive, it responds strongly to pickup height, volume control, and playing dynamics, making it a very "alive" pickup for sculpting your sound with the knob.Technical specifications
