SM00678 Seymour Duncan humbucker pickup SH-1B, '59 model, 4-conductor wiring, bridge, black

Designed to deliver classic P.A.F. tone with modern construction, the ?59 (SH-1) vintage output humbucker pickup?s open, detailed sound and sweet top end make it the perfect choice for rock and blues. The ?59 bridge model (SH-1b) is a vintage output humbucker that?s great for rock, blues, and more. Its vintage-inspired coils give it an airy quality that is firmly in the P.A.F. family, and the alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potting make it compatible with lighter guitar strings and louder amplifiers than were ever used in the 1950s. The result is a pickup with tons of old-school tonal character, but with a brighter top end, and a slightly more compressed sound.
The ?59 model features a variety of traditional vintage treatments, such as 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate and no logo. The 4-conductor wiring offers parallel and splitcoil wiring. As with all of our P.A.F.-style pickups, the ?59 vintage output humbucker is wound on Seymour?s classic Leesona 102 pickup winding machine from the old Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI.
