Description
The SH-1N ’59 brings Seymour Duncan’s beloved vintage humbucker formula to 7-string territory, giving that extra low string the same clarity and warmth players have chased for decades. Built as a neck pickup, it delivers the classic PAF character: rounded, slightly scooped mids, glassy clean tones with real depth, and a distorted voice that stays full and bright rather than muddy or compressed — even on the low B.
Sustain here is smooth and even across the string set, which matters a lot on extended-range instruments where low-end definition can get flabby. Compared to Seymour Duncan’s SH-55 Seth Lover, the ’59 pulls its mids back a touch for a slightly different flavor, and it’s vacuum wax potted to keep things quiet at higher gain — no unwanted microphonic squeal creeping in when you dig into leads.
This ’59 is genuinely at home across styles: country twang, jazz warmth, blues phrasing, funk snap, classic rock crunch, and heavy rock drive all sit comfortably in its range. Plenty of 7-string players pair this neck pickup with a hotter bridge humbucker, such as the SH-4 JB or SH-13 Dimebucker, to get contrast between a smooth, vocal neck tone and a more aggressive bridge voice.
