Seymour Duncan '59 Pickups

Seymour Duncan '59 Pickups for Guitarists

A pickup swap changes how a guitar answers your hands, and the '59 Model is one of the best-known humbucker swaps a player can make. At LV Guitars you can choose the SH-1n for the neck and the SH-1b for the bridge, or pick the TB-59 Trembucker when your guitar has a wider bridge-slot spacing. The family name points to a vintage-voiced humbucker, which makes sense for players who want a classic voice in a worn-in rig.

Gigging players get some practical choices. There is a 4-conductor SH-1n for guitars where you want more wiring flexibility, a 7-string SH-1N neck version, and the Vintage Blues set that matches neck and bridge in one go. Finishes run from white, black and nickel to gold, zebra and reverse zebra, so the look can match a refinished guitar or a collector's build.

Pricing runs from about $99 to $198, so upgrading one position or both stays within reach. Check the position and spacing against your guitar before you order, then pick a finish that suits the instrument.

Wiring: factory lead wiring varies by model. Each product page states whether that pickup ships 1-conductor or 4-conductor; where a 4-conductor version is not the stock build it is a special order (about 3 weeks, extra cost).

Seymour Duncan '59 Pickups - frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Seymour Duncan SH-1n and SH-1b '59 Model pickups?

The SH-1n is the neck-position pickup and the SH-1b is the bridge-position pickup in the '59 Model line. Because both share the '59 name, you can easily put together a matched pair. The Vintage Blues set of two also bundles a neck and a bridge pickup in one purchase.

Which Seymour Duncan '59 pickup fits a guitar with a trembucker bridge slot?

The Seymour Duncan Trembucker TB-59 is the '59 option for guitars with a trembucker-spaced bridge slot. It is offered in several cover finishes, including white and zebra. Check your guitar's bridge spacing first, since fit is the main difference between the TB-59 and the standard SH-1b.

Do Seymour Duncan '59 pickups come in different colors, and is there a 7-string version?

Yes. Covers and bobbins come in white, black, zebra, reverse zebra, gold, nickel and black cover finishes, so you can match or refresh the look of your guitar. There is also a 7-string SH-1N neck version. The range runs from affordable to premium, with differences mostly in position, spacing and finish.
