A "PAF" in a Tele cavity: the Little '59 spirit
The ST59-1 Little '59 Lead Tele is designed for guitarists who love the feel of a Telecaster but want a thicker, fuller humbucker tone at the bridge. It delivers a warm and balanced sound, with a thicker response than a vintage Tele pickup, while maintaining that slightly snappy and articulate character that makes the instrument charming.
Who is it for and what styles?
Ideal if you play modern country, blues rock, classic rock, or heavier tones with good chord definition. In the bridge position, it provides more singing solos, rhythms that better fill the mix, and improved noise handling, especially appreciated with gain pedals or pushed amps.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Seymour Duncan ST59-1 Little '59 Lead Tele compatible with a standard Telecaster?
