The Seymour Duncan SH-1 '59 Model Electric Guitar Pickup is built with the same kind of enameled wire, nickel-plated studs, and balanced coil windings that humbucker inventor Seth Lover used in his first pickups. It looks and sounds just like a '59. Available in multiple colors!
The “SH” Humbucker
series is designed for the original/classic string spacing of Gibson
humbuckers (1.95” (48.9mm) measured center of high string to center of
low string over the bridge pickup.) If that space is greater than 2.00”
(or 50.0mm), use a Trembucker (“TB”) in the bridge position. Available
in black, white , zebra (cream & black), or reverse zebra (B, W, Z,
or RZ) as well as the following colors at $3.00 upcharge—red, pink,
green, light blue, dark blue & yellow. (custom colors may delay shipment lead times)
application
Versatile P.A.F.-type humbucker. Great for country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock and heavy rock.
description
Late-'50s, vintage-correct, humbucker sound. Warm and crystalline clean tones. Full and bright distorted tones. Smooth sustain. Classic appointments include plain enamel wire, long legged bottom plate, vintage single conductor cable and no logo. Compared to the SH-55 Seth Lover, the '59 has slightly more scooped mids and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
complete setup
Available in both neck and bridge models. Often a '59 neck is used together with a hotter bridge pickup like the SH-4 JB or SH-13 Dimebucker for extra versatility.
guitars
For balanced and warm instruments. Works especially well with mahogany bodies and rosewood fingerboards.
available mods
Four-conductor cable. Trembucker. Nickel or gold-plated cover. 7-string version. Seymour Duncan logo. Available in matched set of '59 bridge and '59 neck. Colors (humbucker spacing).
