A Seymour Duncan classic inspired by late 1950s humbuckers
The SH-1B "59 Model" captures the spirit of vintage humbuckers that marked electric guitar history: moderate output level, very musical response, and excellent interaction with the guitar's volume control. In the bridge version, it retains that "old school" tone while providing the presence needed to stand out in the mix.
For which styles and guitarists?
Designed for great versatility, this pickup is aimed at musicians who want to move from a full clean to an organic crunch, then to big rock without losing definition. It excels in country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock, and heavy rock, with solid attack and harmonics that are easy to control with both pick and fingers.
