A classic "59" revisited in Reverse Zebra
The 59 Model is designed to capture the spirit of vintage humbuckers: a balanced response, rich harmonic content, and an "organic" feel under the fingers. In this Reverse Zebra version, you retain the model's sonic signature while adding a striking aesthetic, perfect for customizing a guitar with a decidedly rock look.
For which guitarist and styles?
Designed for the neck position, this pickup excels when you seek a sound that is both round and clear: breathing jazz chords, creamy blues, articulate funk, and detailed country licks. It is equally comfortable in classic rock and heavy rock thanks to its definition, especially for singing solos and thick, tight rhythms without muddiness.
Split, definition, and balance: true wiring versatility
With a 7.43 K resistance and a 6.8 kHz peak, the SH-1N aims for a natural balance: present lows without excess, musical mids, and highs open enough to maintain precision even with effects or a heavily driven amp. Its 4-conductor wiring facilitates modern setups (split, combinations, push-pull), while the pickup remains passive to preserve a direct and nuanced response to the touch.
