Seymour Duncan SH-1 1959 Humbucker Pickup Set (Neck and Bridge Models)
(color: Black)


Retail: $187.00

This pickup is a faithful replica of the great old 1959 "Patent Applied For" humbucker.  The tone is smooth and warm.  Sustain is plentiful.
The same kind of Alnico magnets, plain enameled wire, braided single-conductor hookup cable, nickel plated studs, wooden spacer, black paper tape, and balanced coil windings that were used on the originals are used here in the '59.  Even the square pin hole with the distinctive 'Paten Applied for" recessed molding ring on the top of the bobbin is included.
The neck and bridge models are individually calibrated for an even volume balance.  The bridge packs a little extra punch and the neck is warm with just the right amout of bass.
This pickup is a direct replacement and requires no guitar modification.  Wiring schematic and mounting screws are included.
