A Classic in the Seymour Duncan Range: The "59 Model" DNA
The Seymour Duncan SH-1N, also known as the "59 Model", is a must-have reference for guitarists seeking a humbucker pickup with a traditional character, inspired by the iconic sounds of the 50s and 60s. In this neck version, it emphasizes musicality, warmth, and definition while maintaining true responsiveness to playing nuances.
For Which Styles and Guitars?
Thanks to its tonal balance, this pickup naturally fits into country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock, and heavy rock genres. In the neck position, it suits both clean, full rhythms and smooth leads, offering excellent chord clarity. It is designed for musicians who want a versatile pickup capable of remaining expressive at low gain and retaining body with more pronounced saturation.
Wiring Versatility and Harmonic Response
The 4-conductor version of the SH-1N-N4C opens the door to very flexible configurations: split for brighter, airier tones, or wiring combinations to adapt output and texture to the rest of the electronics. With its resonant frequency and measured resistance, it delivers a present upper spectrum without harshness while preserving warm low-mids, especially appreciated for "singing" solos in the neck position.
