Description
This is the pairing a lot of players land on once they’ve tried everything else: Seymour Duncan’s SH-1n ’59 Model in the neck, paired with the SH-5 Duncan Custom in the bridge, both in matching gold covers with 4-conductor wiring for full switching flexibility.
- SH-1n ’59 Model (Neck): Built to Seth Lover’s original 1959 “Patent Applied For” spec — alnico magnets, plain enamel wire, nickel studs, wooden spacer, black paper tape, hand-balanced coils. Warm, smooth, and sustaining, with bass that never gets muddy. Wiring diagram and mounting screws included.
- SH-5 Duncan Custom (Bridge): Think PAF tone with the volume knob on its head. The ceramic magnet and custom coil winding push midrange attack and top-end cut, while keeping bass tight and articulate — even in dropped tunings, where lesser pickups turn to mush. Compressed dynamics and thick harmonic content make it a go-to for rock, metal, funk, punk, and R&B. Comes with 4-conductor hookup cable.
Together, they give you a genuinely balanced instrument: vintage-correct sweetness in the neck, hard-driving punch in the bridge. This combo tends to shine especially well on guitars with rosewood fingerboards. As a bonus, this set ships with a free set of Ernie Ball EB2221 Regular Slinky strings, so you’re ready to string up and dial in your new tone right away.
