Description
The Little ’59 is Seymour Duncan’s answer to a classic problem: how do you get real humbucker tone and hum-cancelling quiet into a guitar routed for single coils? The SL59-1n solves it by shrinking a PAF-style humbucker design down to single-coil dimensions, so it drops straight into a Strat or Tele-style pickguard slot as a direct replacement — no cutting, no routing, no drama.
- Neck position voicing, finished in white
- DC resistance rated at 9.86k ohms
- Adjustable pole pieces for dialing in string-to-string balance and punch
- Four-conductor lead wire, opening up coil-split and phase-switching wiring options
- Wiring diagram and mounting hardware included
Tonally, this is where the ’59 in the name earns its keep. Expect the smooth, even response and rounded warmth associated with old Patent Applied For humbuckers — dynamic enough to clean up nicely with a guitar’s volume knob, but with enough push in the midrange to keep single-note lines and chords feeling substantial rather than thin. The adjustable poles mean you’re not stuck with whatever balance the pickup ships with; if your low strings are overpowering or your high strings are getting lost, you can fine-tune it at the pickup itself.
Because it’s wired with four conductors, players who want more than just humbucker tone have the option to split the coil for single-coil quack or flip phase for hollowed-out, nasal voicings — flexibility that a standard two-conductor pickup can’t offer.
