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's a humbucker that looks and sounds just like a '59 pickup.

    I put this pick up in a low end guitar and the sound is much better, this pick up was put in the neck position,I would say it is one of the better pick ups for clean or a somewhat jazz tone,or even a bluesy sound.

  • I can get just the right tone cleanly.

    I needed a Classic sound pickup for the amazing 2003 Epi Dot I found in a used guitar store. The neck pickup had already been replaced with a Gibson PU, so it had a rich bell like tone and about 7.8 mA output. This SeymourDuncan '59 was a solid match. I play in a 60's, 70's cover band so I need versatility and not hairband distortion. Whether using this pickup alone or in blended combination with the neck pickup, I can get just the right tone cleanly.

    Good reliable pickup with that super great vintage tone in the neck, its crystalline tone satisfies the most finicky of tone seekers , very easy to install, great price its always around 80 bucks .

    Very nice. Good looking. Good sounding. Just a little softer rounded old school sound compared to the Slash pickups but that is what I was looking for!
