Seymour Duncan Pickups: It's All About the Tone

The '59 Model SH-1 is Seymour Duncan's take on the classic Seth Lover PAF (Patent Applied For) humbucker that was found on the Gibson Les Paul in the late 1950s. The SH-1 sports plain enamel wire, a long-legged bottom plate, vintage-correct single-conductor cable, and the absence of a Seymour Duncan logo. This vintage re-creation sports a slightly more scooped midrange than the Seth Lover model and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. For flexible tones with vintage flair, the Duncan '59 Model SH-1 is a perfect fit.

Seymour Duncan '59 Model SH-1 Features:
  • Classic Humbucker for neck position
  • Standard spacing
  • Vintage-style sound and design
  • Flexible tonal options
  • Single-conductor wire
  • Plain enamel wire
  • Long-legged bottom plate
  • Vacuum-potted for squeal-free performance
Your tone begins with Seymour Duncan pickups!

Reviews

Nice upgrade!
Put these in my older Epiphone SG that I've been upgrading. Perfect and just what I hoped for.
Music background: Home recording these days.
awesome
One of the best paf pickups on the market!!!
Music background: composer, producer
Duncan 59 neck
What it's not. A high output distortion type pickup. What it is is a modern PAF type, well rounded pickup. I have 3 PRS SE 245 and 1 PRS SE Zach Myers, and a SE Starla. I have replaced the PRS 245 pickups w 59's. They're just...more. Smoother, more articulate. Put these in a guitar in front of a high gain amp and you get, for my ears, a next to perfect sound. if you want the technicals, I'm not your guy. I just know they sound darn good. They nail that PAF neck position sound

Love it
Added to my Epiphone SG400. Much, much better than the stock pickups.
Love it.
Paired this with a bridge version in my Epiphone SG G400 and I am very happy with the results. Sounds great.
