The Seymour Duncan SH-1N '59 Model humbucker brings vintage P.A.F. voicing to the neck position with thoroughly modern American manufacturing. This passive pickup recreates the open, articulate character of late-1950s humbuckers while sidestepping the inconsistencies that plagued original examples. The gold mesh cover adds visual distinction to a pickup engineered for rock and blues players who prioritise clarity and harmonic detail over brute output.
Wound to 7.6k DCR in the neck position, the SH-1N sits in vintage output territory where note separation and dynamic response remain intact under gain. Alnico 5 magnets deliver the requisite top-end sweetness without sacrificing midrange presence. Cable options include single-conductor braided shield and four-conductor shielded configurations, allowing for coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring schemes. The pickup ships USA-designed and manufactured, maintaining the tighter tolerances and quality control standards Seymour Duncan established in the 1970s.
