Description
The ’59 Trembucker is the F-spaced answer for players who love the vintage PAF humbucker sound but run a guitar with a wider string spacing – think Strats, Fender-style tremolo setups, or any post-1999 Gibson built with F-spaced bridge pickups. It’s the same beloved recipe as Seymour Duncan’s standard ’59, just re-spaced under the hood to keep every string centered under its pole piece for even output and articulation.
Tonally, this is late-’50s humbucker territory done right: clean tones come through warm with a glassy, crystalline top end, while pushing into distortion opens up a full, bright voice with smooth, singing sustain. Compared to the SH-55 Seth Lover, the ’59 pulls the midrange back slightly for a more scooped response, giving you a bit more room for pick attack and note separation without losing that classic PAF character.
It’s genuinely versatile – equally at home in country twang, jazz warmth, bluesy breakup, funky rhythm work, and both classic and heavy rock leads. Seymour Duncan vacuum wax pots each ’59 to eliminate microphonic squeal at higher gain, and it ships ready to wire with 4-conductor hook-up cable, giving you the flexibility to split coils or wire it however your project demands.
