I bought a new guitar that had 59s installed but I swapped them out for another set. I bought the guitar November 2020 and swapped the pups out January 2021, so there is very little play time on these; they're essentially brand new (been sitting on a shelf for a few years).
Here's what Duncan says about this model:
The ’59 bridge model (SH-1b) is a vintage output humbucker that’s great for rock, blues, and more. Its vintage-inspired coils give it an airy quality that is firmly in the P.A.F. family, and the alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potting make it compatible with lighter guitar strings and louder amplifiers than were ever used in the 1950s. The result is a pickup with tons of old-school tonal character, but with a brighter top end, and a slightly more compressed sound.
I'm not in the business of flipping equipment or cheating people. I'm a working musician, probably like you. As such, I don't have a formal return policy. I describe my items as accurately as I can. You should read everything and ask questions if you need to. If you think there's a problem, please reach out to me to see what we can work out before leaving feedback. I appreciate being able to sell my old gear for fair prices and I won't jeopardize that by being shady. I have gone out of my way to ensure customer satisfaction. Although I'm new to Gear Exchange, my handle on eBay is sofa-king-great if you want to see my feedback.
