Seymour Duncan Humbucker SH-1N 7-String 59 Model Neck Pickup

Seymour Duncan Humbucker SH-1N 7-String 59 Model Neck Pickup

The SH-1N '59 Model delivers the classic vintage warmth and articulation that defined the original 1959 humbucker sound, now configured for 7-string instruments. This neck position pickup combines smooth, controlled output with responsive dynamics, making it ideal for players seeking authentic vintage character without sacrificing clarity across extended range applications.

Tone & Frequency Response

The Alnico V magnet paired with a 7.43 kΩ DC resistance produces a warm, balanced tone with organic sustain and definition. A 6.8 kHz resonant peak combined with 6/3/8 EQ voicing (Bass/Mid/Treble) emphasizes smooth lows, controlled midrange presence, and articulate treble—characteristics that translate effectively across 7-string tunings while maintaining tonal separation.

Construction & Design

Built using vintage-correct methods including 42AWG plain enamel magnet wire, maple spacers, and paper tape around coils, this pickup maintains authentic construction standards. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback, while the long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate ensures reliable shielding and consistent performance in noise-prone environments.
