Description
The SL59-1 “Little ’59” packs the creamy, mid-forward growl of a late-’50s PAF-style humbucker into a housing sized for a single-coil pickguard. Seymour Duncan built this one specifically for the bridge position, where players usually want more bite without losing warmth, and the Little ’59 delivers exactly that balance.
- Direct-fit single-coil size humbucker, no guitar modification needed
- Bridge position voicing for a punchy, articulate top end paired with humbucker body
- White cover
- Adjustable pole pieces so you can shape string-to-string balance and dial in output to taste
- DC resistance rated at 11.78k ohms
- Four-conductor lead wire, ready for coil-split or phase-switching wiring schemes
- Ships with wiring diagram and mounting hardware
Because it’s a true humbucker underneath that slim profile, hum-cancelling is part of the deal, so you get quiet, full-bodied tone even at higher gain. The even, dynamic response means it responds well whether you’re chording cleanly or leaning into overdrive, and the four-conductor cable gives you room to experiment with split or out-of-phase tones down the line if your wiring allows it.
A solid pick for Strat players chasing PAF character in the bridge slot without giving up their pickguard routing or single-coil aesthetics.
