Vintage Output Humbucker Bridge Pickup for Rock and Blues - Seymour Duncan 59

The Seymour Duncan '59 Model SH-1 humbucking pickup is a vintage-inspired recreation of the classic Seth Lover PAF (Patent Applied For) humbucker found on the iconic late-1950s Les Paul by Gibson. This pickup features plain enamel wire, a long-legged bottom plate, 4-conductor cable, and does not have a Seymour Duncan logo, capturing the essence of the original design. The '59 Model SH-1 is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance and offers a slightly more scooped midrange than the Seth Lover model.

With its vintage look and sound, the '59 Model SH-1 delivers warm and crystalline clean tones as well as full and bright distorted tones with smooth sustain, providing a classic late-'50s humbucker sound. This pickup is a complete tone monster setup, perfect for rock, blues, and other genres, offering tons of old-school character with a brighter top end and a slightly more compressed sound.

The vintage-inspired coils of the '59 bridge model give it an airy quality that is firmly in the P.A.F. family, while the alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potting make it compatible with lighter guitar strings and louder amplifiers. Designed in the spirit of the original P.A.F. humbuckers of the 1950s, the '59 model delivers sweet sustain and a warm, full sound with a clear attack.

Featuring traditional vintage appointments, such as 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate, vintage single-conductor braided push back lead wire, and no logo, the '59 model captures the authentic look and feel of the original P.A.F. humbuckers. This vintage output humbucker bridge pickup is wound on Seymour’s classic Leesona 102 pickup winding machine in the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI, ensuring genuine, USA-made quality.

In conclusion, the Seymour Duncan '59 Model SH-1 humbucking pickup provides versatile tones with vintage flair and is a perfect fit for those seeking an authentic vintage sound for their guitar. Trust your tone to Seymour Duncan and experience the classic sound of the late 1950s with the '59 Model SH-1.
