Description
The SH-1 ’59 is Seymour Duncan’s tribute to the very first humbuckers to leave Seth Lover’s bench – the original “Patent Applied For” units that defined the PAF sound before the patent even existed. This set doesn’t just chase the vibe; it replicates the build. Same alnico magnets, plain enamel wire, nickel-plated studs, a wooden spacer, and black paper tape wrapping the coils, all assembled with the balanced winding that gave the originals their famously even output between coils.
- Gold-covered neck and bridge pickup set
- Alnico magnets with plain enamel wound coils, faithful to 1959 construction
- Nickel-plated studs, wooden spacer, black paper tape – period-correct materials throughout
- Single conductor braided cable for straightforward, quiet wiring
- Wiring diagram and mounting screws included
- Free set of Ernie Ball Slinky strings included
Sonically, expect that classic vintage PAF character: smooth on top, articulate in the mids, with a brightness that never tips into harshness. It’s the tone that launched a thousand imitators, straight from the source. Drop this set into any humbucker-loaded guitar and you’re not chasing a vintage sound – you’re plugging into the real construction behind it, with fresh strings ready to go the moment the wiring’s done.
