Description
This is the pairing that made both pickups famous — the SH-4 JB and SH-1 59 Model, matched up in nickel for players who want one bridge/neck decision they never have to second-guess.
- SH-4 JB (Bridge): Duncan’s best-selling humbucker for a reason. Hot coils wound around an alnico 5 bar magnet push out an aggressive upper-midrange bite, a tight low end that doesn’t get muddy under gain, and highs with enough harmonic complexity to cut through a mix. It moves easily from blues and country twang into full-on hard rock and metal snarl. Built by hand in Santa Barbara with a nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for coil-split and phase wiring options, and vacuum wax potting to keep it quiet at stage volume.
- SH-1N 59 Model (Neck): A vintage-voiced PAF-style humbucker built for big open chords and singing leads. The alnico 5 magnet and wax potting update the classic formula for modern strings and louder rigs, giving you that old-world airiness with a slightly brighter top and scooped mids. Hand-built with period-correct details — 42AWG plain enamel wire, a long-legged nickel silver bottom plate, single-conductor braided push-back lead wire, no logo — and wound on Seymour’s original Leesona winder from the old Gibson Kalamazoo factory.
Together, they give you the hot, modern-rock bridge tone the JB is known for balanced against a smooth, PAF-style neck voice — a set that’s earned its reputation across genres for good reason.
