The "59 Model" Reference: Vintage Spirit, No Compromise
The SH-1B "59 Model" is designed to recapture the dynamics and openness of vintage humbuckers, with a natural response that respects your playing. In a Zebra finish, it also adds a classic aesthetic touch, perfect on guitars with a retro look as well as on more modern instruments.
Who Is This Bridge Pickup For?
Designed for the bridge position, this pickup is aimed at guitarists seeking an articulate and singing tone, capable of covering a wide range of styles: Country, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Classic Rock, and Heavy Rock. It excels when you want clear chords, expressive bends, and good definition under saturation without unnecessary harshness.
Alnico V, 4 Conductors, and Split Coil: An Extended Sonic Palette
Its Alnico V magnet delivers punch and a firm low-end response while maintaining precise highs. The 4-conductor wiring facilitates advanced setups (split coil, series/parallel depending on your electronics): convenient for switching from a full humbucker sound to thinner, snappier textures in split mode. With a resonance around 6 kHz, it retains presence and brightness to stand out well in the mix, whether clean or overdriven.
