Description
The SH-1N is Seymour Duncan’s take on the original late-’50s PAF formula, tuned specifically for neck position duty. It’s built to deliver that vintage humbucker character: clean tones that stay warm but never muddy, with a glassy top end that cuts through without getting harsh. Push it into distortion and you get a full, articulate voice with smooth, singing sustain rather than a wall of compressed fuzz.
Under the reverse zebra cover you’ll find the classic recipe – plain enamel magnet wire, a long-legged bottom plate, and vintage-style single conductor cable, plus no logo on the bobbins for that unbranded, period-correct look. Unlike the SH-55 Seth Lover, the ’59 leans into slightly scooped mids, giving it a bit more sparkle and separation in the midrange. It’s also vacuum wax potted, so you get squeal-free performance at stage volume without sacrificing the openness that makes PAF-style pickups so musical.
This is the neck model – pair it with a hotter bridge pickup like the SH-4 JB or SH-13 Dimebucker if you want a set that covers everything from clean jazz chords to rock rhythm and lead work.
