The "59 Model": A Seymour Duncan Reference for Vintage Tones
The "59 Model Set" is designed for guitarists seeking the feel and musicality of vintage humbuckers, with manufacturing consistency and reliability perfectly suited for both stage and studio. Sold as a kit, the SH-1N (neck) and SH-1B (bridge) naturally complement each other: the neck remains clear and singing, while the bridge provides the projection and bite needed to stand out in the mix.
For Which Styles and Guitarists?
This set covers a wide range: country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock, and even heavy rock. If you play with dynamics, guitar volume, and touch, you will appreciate the dynamic response and balance between warmth and definition. In the neck position, melodic lines gain fluidity; at the bridge, riffs retain body without becoming aggressive.
