A Modern Seymour Duncan Classic Designed for the Bridge
The TB-16 "59 Custom Hybrid" was born from the idea of combining two highly appreciated DNA elements: the openness and organic character of a "59" style pickup and the more powerful attack of a "Custom" model. The result: a humbucker that retains the musicality and definition of vintage tones while adding extra punch and sustain for modern settings, especially at the bridge.
For Which Guitarists and Styles
Designed for the bridge position, this TB-16-W is an excellent choice if you want a pickup capable of covering blues-rock to hard rock, with a great response to playing nuances. It shines equally in expressive crunch and denser saturation, maintaining good clarity on chords. On a darker guitar, it helps bring air and bite; on an already bright guitar, it retains warmth without becoming harsh if the height adjustment is properly set.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Seymour Duncan TB-16-W suitable for a guitar with a tremolo?
The Trembucker design is made to match the string spacing commonly found on guitars equipped with a tremolo, optimizing pole piece alignment.
What tone does the 59 Custom Hybrid offer in the bridge position?
The combination of '59' and 'Custom' inspirations delivers a clear attack and solid low-mids. The highs remain articulate, enhancing chord clarity under distortion. The pickup is designed for styles ranging from blues rock to hard rock.
Is it possible to coil split this Seymour Duncan humbucker?
Thanks to its 4-conductor wiring, coil splitting or series/parallel wiring can be implemented depending on the chosen setup. These options provide more nuanced tones than the standard humbucker operation.
Is this bridge pickup suitable for a dark-sounding guitar?
On a guitar with a dark character, the alnico V magnet and the voicing of the TB-16-W help recover brightness and definition. The height adjustment allows fine-tuning the response on an already bright guitar.
What is the finish of the TB-16-W?
The white finish of this passive humbucker complements a light pickguard or custom aesthetics. It uses a standard humbucker mounting format.
