The Seymour Duncan ST59-1 Little 59 Tele Bridge Pickup is a little beast that delivers a warm, smooth tone, reminiscent of a PAF humbucker mixed together with a healthy dose of beefed up Tele© twang.

First off, I have an american standard tele that I was getting tired of the hum and lack of clarity in the stock pickups. I was a little skeptical of this pickup and the sound I would get out of it. I wanted to add some punch to the mids, but also wanted to quiet down the hum from the single coil. I was considering getting some of the noiseless pickups, but as these are not really any "hotter" than the stock PUs I went with this pickup. I was very very happy with this decision. the Lil'59 was installed in the bridge position and it changed the whole sound of my guitar. The middle selection (bridge & neck) sounds much cleaner and still has twang to it, while the bridge only selection sounds more like a gibson humbucker. Did I mention the guitar is much quieter now? the bridge and neck combined and bridge only selection are virtually noiseless now, and the neck only pickup was pretty quiet to start with so +++++. I would definitely recomend this pickup if you are looking to give your tele some added punch without losing the twangy bluesy sound we all buy tele's for.
the pickup is pretty easy to install and definitely sounds different than the stock tele bridge, but I expected it to have more clarity. If you are looking for clarity don't go for this pickup, if you want a hotter high gain pickup for your tele then definitely go for this one. Sounds ok in OD with much higher mids and no hum which is nice. overall I gave it a 3 because I thought the clarity would be there, but it is quite muddy sounding at high volumes.
This is a miniature humbucker. It is a true humbucker, but it is the size of a single coil pickup. I am a beginning guitar student and started off with a Squier Telecaster. It's a great beginner's guitar, but after a while I wanted a better sound, but I didn't want to shell out a lot of coin for a new guitar. After a lot of research I got this Little 59 at my local Guitar Center store and installed it in the bridge position. The sound is fantastic! I also put a regular size humbucker in the neck position, but this Little 59 by far is my favorite. I love the thick, rich, powerful sound it gives out, and I also love its versatility. It sounds great on various settings. Also with a Seymour Duncan pickup you get Seymour Duncan tech support that not only helps in choosing the right pickups but also gives detailed, easy to read instructions on installation and trouble shooting.
