Seymour Duncan '59 Model Passive Humbucker Neck Pickup - Black

The 59 neck model (SH-1n) is one of Seymour Duncan's most popular pickups because its so versatile. Like its bridge-position sibling, the 59 neck is designed in the spirit of the original P.A.F. humbuckers of the 1950's, with sweet sustain, and a warm, full sound that still possesses a clear attack. Seymour Duncan has made a few refinements to slightly modernise the design and make it more adaptable to different styles. The high end is slightly boosted for improved pick-attack clarity and the mids are a little scooped for an open, smooth sound that's great for preserving the clarity of the individual notes in a chord. The '59 neck was born to accompany the '59 bridge, but countless players pair it with a high output bridge humbucker, such as a JB or Custom. It's also a popular choice for humbucker-routed Telecasters.

Offered in 6-string standard humbucker and Trembucker spacings, the '59 model features a variety of traditional vintage treatments, such as 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate, vintage single-conductor braided push back lead wire, and no logo. If you opt for a four-conductor version for coil splitting, the 59s single coil mode is crystal clear. As with all of our P.A.F.-style pickups, the 59 vintage output humbucker is wound on Seymours classic Leesona 102 pickup winding machine from the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI.
