A Seymour Duncan classic inspired by 1959 humbuckers
The SH-1N "59 Model" is designed to recapture the spirit of vintage humbuckers: a natural balance between warm lows, musical mids, and open highs. In the neck version, it favors roundness and precision to maintain clarity, even with higher gain sounds.
For which styles and guitarists?
Designed for the neck position, this pickup is aimed at guitarists seeking an authentic and versatile tone. It excels in country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock and easily handles heavy rock, staying articulate for chordal parts and offering generous sustain for solos.
Alnico V, 4-conductor wiring, and split: uncompromising versatility
Its Alnico V magnet provides attack, presence, and strong bass response while maintaining a dynamic touch sensitivity. The 4-conductor wiring enables splitting (via push-pull or mini-switch) to achieve airier, more percussive textures, convenient for switching from a rounded humbucker sound to a more "single coil" tone on the same guitar. Being a passive pickup (non-active), it retains an organic behavior and excellent interaction with volume and tone controls.
