The Seymour Duncan SH-1N '59 Model is a vintage–output passive humbucker engineered to capture classic P.A.F. tonality with contemporary manufacturing standards. Designed for the neck position, this pickup delivers the open, detailed character and sweet harmonic response that defined late–fifties humbucking tone. The tortoise shell cover adds classic visual appeal to guitars seeking period–correct aesthetics. With a DC resistance of 7.6k, the '59 Model produces warm, balanced output that responds dynamically to playing touch and volume adjustments.
Alnico 5 magnets provide the tonal foundation, delivering clarity and articulation across the frequency spectrum without excessive brightness or muddiness. The pickup ships with both single–conductor braided shield and four–conductor shielded cable options, allowing for series, parallel, and coil–splitting wiring configurations. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the SH-1N combines vintage voicing with reliable construction. The neck position configuration emphasises midrange warmth and smooth treble response, making this humbucker particularly effective in rock and blues applications where note definition and tonal richness matter most.
