Seymour Duncan Little '59/Vintage Stack Tele Humbucker Pickup 2-piece Set - Black Reviews

Passive Humbucker Set with 1 STK-T1n Vintage Stack and 1 x SL59-1b Little '59 Bridge Pickup - Black

This Seymour Duncan Little '59/Vintage Stack Tele Set pickup upgrade starts by ironing out the hum and then kicks your tone into high gear. Despite its tendency to pick up stray FM broadcasts, the dark and throaty sound of the traditional Tele neck pickup may pass muster for some rock tones, but the bridge pickup that's perfect for chicken pickin' tends to be a bit anemic for heavier rock riffs. With this Little '59/Vintage Stack Tele Set you can ditch the interference and beef up your tone, all without having to modify your guitar. The guys in Sweetwater's guitar shop really dig Duncan's Little '59 bridge pickup, which is the size of a standard single-coil model but delivers real PAF tone. Likewise, the Vintage Stack neck pickup totally preserves that classic Tele punch, but with so little noise you'd swear there was some serious studio magic at work. All told, if you want to add teeth to your Tele, this Little '59/Vintage Stack combo is the way to go.

Great Pickups, Great Sweetwater Service (as always)...!!!

By John G. from Southern California, home of Fender guiitars.
Music Background: Recreational Musician

Start with the service... I had a minor issue with the transaction going through, it was so nice to have a real person to actually speak directly with, that was resolved very professionally and quickly (very rare in today's world), Thanks Josh (Pippin), great work (as always, every time. for several years now).

The pickups are excellent, of course, they're Seymour Duncan's. I had them put into a standard MIM Fender Telecaster, the stock ones are a bit soft sounding. I picked the Lil' 59 set to match my primary style preference of classic rock and blues, and they are perfect for that. All of that sound and playing style is very much individualized and relative to what the person playing the guitar hears and feels using the different equipment they use along with the guitar, which is why I choose these pickups to work with to get the sound I want. They changed everything, see all of the other reviews for explanations of their opinions and specifics, I just knew they would be in the general ballpark of what I wanted. They do not disappoint...!!!

Other than that, it's all arbitrary stuff I really don't know what I would be talking about anyhow. If you want your Tele to have stronger sound for classic rock and blues, these will work great for you, well worth the investment, I will definitely use the guitar more often in the future.

Tele Revival

By J.D. R. from Belgrade, MT
Music Background: Touring Musician

I use my tele for heavier music and this was the key to developing my love for the tele again. I never play neck pickups, but it's just a clean beaut. The bride pickup broke up long before I can get anything else to and just screams clarity and top end tame.

In love

By Stephanie from NY

I had these put in my Dquier 40th anniversary Tele. Wow. The sustain and sound from these pickups have made me fall even more in love with my guitar. Especially when I add some extra gain. Wow. A very Zeppelin I feeling. This keeps your Tele sounding like a Tele but adds depth and darkness with defined tones that are still full and well rounded.

Awesome

By Hargis P.
Music Background: Guitar, vocals, Harmonica,

I can't believe how good these pickups sound. They have a vintage Tele sound, but better. The power is great.
I added a 4way switch which gives another benefit of having the bridge, and neck pickups in series.
Seymour Duncans are great pickups, at a great price. Top notch quality.

SD Little '59

By Randy from MS
Music Background: mainly acoustic guitar. Newbie at rebuilding Teles.

I installed the Little '59 and Vintage Stack in a Squire 50s Classic Vibe. The '59 was a little snug getting through the pickup slot, but a little pressure and it popped through. I sounds smooth and full, plenty of volume. The Vintage Stack, is okay, but nothing special. It is a little thin on the sound, so expect to crank it up a bit more. I would rather have a Twisted Tele, but it comes with the single coil bridge, which I don't really care for. I will probably get used to it if I give it more time, or change it later. With a 4-way switch, the '59 alone or in series is the the way to go.

Just the ticket

By Sweetwater Customer from C
Music Background: Child of the 60s

I bought these to replace a set of Fender Noiseless that I had installed when I first bought the guitar. The Noiseless set took care of the 60 cycle hum but they were still a little too anemic for any real crunch through any amp I owned. These Seymour Duncan pickups remedied that AND the neck pickup is even quieter noise wise. The bridge pickup is great for soloing and the neck pickup has a very clear tone for rhythm.

59 Vintage Stack Tele Pickup Set

By Will from Florida

Great pickups will change the traditional sounds just a little, but very quiet and clean tone Very pleased

Thank you

By John from Columbia sc
Music Background: Long time

Took my crazy ear piercing swamp ash maple, maple neck and fret board Tele to a highly refined monster. Love it. Now I can play it out and be happy. Overdrive is great , cleans up nice with volume ctrl. Very clear tone. Took me a week install but well worth it. My limited skills and time slowed me down on the install. Very happy! I have little 59 in bridge of my strat for years. You can tell one is for strat one very Tele. Very different. Very well done.

lil package BIG SOUND!

By shawn z. from Mooresville, IN

Duncan is by far becoming my favorite. This set is phenomenal in my tele. I considered selling it because I mainly play rock and metal. the tele just didn't sound great distorted but this set woke it up.

lil 59- humbucker mode sounds like a big duncan...no really it does and it performs amazingly with distortion. Coil split it and you get that slightly reminiscent tele single sound but warmer.

Vintage stack- humbucker mode sounds good however it does make it pretty low output but you do get those nice tele sounds just warmer a bit. Coil split it becomes louder and has an amazing twang to it but it can get noisy.

all in all if you want a more versatile tele and use distortion as well as enjoy the classic tele sound these pickups won't disappoint.
