A Seymour Duncan Classic Inspired by the "59" Humbuckers
The SH-1N-W4C "59 Model" captures the spirit of late 1950s vintage humbuckers: an authentic tone rich in harmonics with a very musical response. Within the Seymour Duncan range, it is an essential reference for achieving that "old school" character while benefiting from consistent manufacturing and modern wiring options.
Who Is This Neck Pickup For?
Designed for the neck position, this humbucker excels when you seek warmth and definition without losing clarity. It is perfectly suited for Country, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Classic Rock, and Heavy Rock styles: clean and readable chords, organic crunch, and smooth solos with great sustain. In split mode, it also allows you to approach finer, snappier tones, useful for funk rhythms or cleaner "single coil" sounds.
Wiring Versatility, Clarity, and Interference Reduction
Thanks to its 4 conductors and split function, the SH-1N-W4C adapts to many configurations: push/pull pots, selectors, series/parallel modes depending on your electronics. Its 6.8 kHz resonance peak enhances articulation and presence, while its 7.43 kOhms resistance stays true to a vintage spirit, offering an excellent balance between precision, sustain, and dynamics. The white finish provides a clean aesthetic, and the interference-resistant design helps maintain a clean signal, especially useful on stage or in the studio.
