The Little '59 Spirit: the "vintage rock" tone adapted for Strat
The Little '59 is designed to deliver a warm and singing humbucker character within the footprint of a single-coil pickup. In the neck position, it provides a thicker low end, present mids, and a rounder attack, perfect for blues phrases, clean jazz chords, or rock leads that need to "cut" through the mix.Who is it for and what styles?
This SL59-1N is aimed at guitarists who love the Strat feel but want more body and sustain in the neck position. Clean, it offers full tones for Jazz, Funk, or modern Country; with overdrive, it becomes very expressive for Blues and Classic Rock. When pushing the gain, its response remains solid for Hard Rock, with better noise control than a traditional single-coil.Technical specifications
