Description
This is the pickup pairing that shows up in gear forums for a reason: the SH-1n ’59 model in the neck delivering warm, crystalline cleans and smooth, vintage P.A.F. character, matched with the SH-5 Duncan Custom in the bridge for a hotter, more aggressive push. Think of it as vintage tone up front and a modern kick in back — you get articulate cleans and jazzy warmth from the neck, then real bite and sustain when you dig in near the bridge.
- SH-1n ’59 (Neck): Late-’50s P.A.F.-style voicing with slightly scooped mids compared to the Seth Lover. Plain enamel wire, long-legged bottom plate, no logo — classic looks to match the classic tone. Vacuum wax potted, so no microphonic squeal even when you’re pushing gain. Suits blues, jazz, funk, country, classic rock and heavier styles alike.
- SH-5 Duncan Custom (Bridge): Often called “P.A.F. on steroids.” Ceramic magnet and a custom coil design give it compressed dynamics, punchy low end, and an aggressive high-mid attack that cuts through a mix without turning to mush — even in drop tunings. Pairs especially well with rosewood boards.
- Both pickups are 4-conductor for full coil-splitting/phase-switching flexibility, and both come in black.
- Ships with a free set of Ernie Ball EB2627 Beefy Slinky strings, so your new pickups sound their best from the first note.
Whether you’re building a do-it-all rock/blues guitar or just want a proven, road-tested combo instead of guessing, this set covers a huge stylistic range without a rewind.
