Description
This is the classic mismatched-humbucker trick, done right. The SH-1n ’59 sits in the neck as a dead-accurate recreation of Seth Lover’s original “Patent Applied For” design — same alnico magnets, plain enamel wire, nickel-plated studs, wooden spacer, and black paper tape as the 1959 originals. Expect a warm, rounded voice with long sustain and bass that stays controlled rather than boomy.
Up at the bridge, the SH-5 Custom takes that same P.A.F. DNA and turns the wick up. It swaps in a ceramic magnet and a custom coil wind for compressed dynamics, a sharper harmonic edge, and a midrange punch that shoves right through a mix. Drop-tune it and it still stays tight instead of collapsing into mush — a big reason it’s become a go-to for rock, metal, funk, punk, and R&B players who want P.A.F. character with real bite.
Together, the pair gives you a genuinely versatile guitar: vintage-correct sweetness in the neck, hard-driving attack in the bridge, both finished in gold covers with 4-conductor lead wire for coil-splitting or phase-switching wiring schemes.
