A Seymour Duncan Classic Inspired by Late 1950s Humbuckers
The "59 Model" is designed to capture the spirit of vintage humbuckers: a balanced response, great musicality, and an organic character that respects the guitar's personality. In the SH-1N (neck) version, it emphasizes roundness and singing tone without sounding muffled, making it a reliable choice for a versatile setup with a gold look.
For Which Styles and Guitarists?
Designed to cover a wide spectrum, this pickup thrives in country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock, and heavy rock. In short, you get full notes, clear chord separation, and very sensitive attack nuances. With overdrive, it delivers smooth sustain and natural harmonics, perfect for singing leads and thick but articulate rhythms.
Design and Sound Behavior
The Alnico V magnet provides solid low-end support and a firmer attack, helping the neck pickup stay defined, especially on guitars with a long scale length or already very round tones. The 1 conductor braided wiring reflects a vintage spirit: simple installation, effective shielding, but no split (non-splittable pickup). This model is passive (non-active) and aims for an ideal balance between warmth, clarity, and dynamic response, for expressive touch and a wide palette of sounds.
