Little '59: the vintage Seymour Duncan spirit, designed for Strat-style guitars
The Little '59 was designed for guitarists who love the personality of a Strat but want to hear the warmth and bite of a vintage humbucker. By maintaining a double coil single-coil format, it easily fits into a standard pickguard and offers a true alternative to traditional single coils, without compromising versatility.
