Description
This is the classic Seymour Duncan combo that’s shown up on countless studio and stage rigs: the SH-1n ’59 Model in the neck paired with the SH-5 Duncan Custom in the bridge, both wired 4-conductor and finished in black. Buy the set and a pack of Elixir Super Light guitar strings comes along for free.
The ’59 neck pickup is built to nail that late-’50s P.A.F. character — plain enamel wire, a long-legged bottom plate, and no logo decal, all vacuum wax potted so it won’t squeal under gain. Expect warm, crystalline cleans and full, bright tones when you push it into distortion, with the kind of smooth sustain that made the original P.A.F. design a benchmark. Compared to Duncan’s Seth Lover model, the ’59 sits with slightly more scooped mids, and it covers a wide stylistic range — country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock, even heavy rock.
In the bridge, the Duncan Custom takes that P.A.F. foundation and turns up the aggression. Its ceramic magnet and custom coil wind deliver compressed dynamics, a beefed-up harmonic structure, and a bass response that stays punchy and defined rather than mushy — which makes it a favorite for drop tunings. High end and midrange attack cut through a mix cleanly, making it equally at home in classic rock, heavy rock, funk, punk, R&B, and metal.
Together, this pairing gives you vintage-correct warmth up front and a hard-driving, ceramic-charged edge in back — a versatile, balanced setup that plays especially well with rosewood fingerboards.
