Seymour Duncan SH-1n '59 Model Raw Nickel Bdr TShell Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-1n '59 Model Raw Nickel Pickup

The SH-1n '59 Model is a humbucker built for players who need the warm, articulate character of a classic '59 without excessive output. Its moderate 7.6K DCR preserves pick dynamics and string definition across all six strings, making it a reliable choice for both rhythm work and lead playing. The raw nickel cover and tortoise shell baseplate deliver a refined look while the vacuum wax potting ensures consistent performance night after night—no microphonic surprises on stage.

Tone & Output

Powered by Alnico V magnets and tuned to 7.6K DCR, this pickup produces vintage output that stays articulate and responsive to your touch. You get the balanced, resonant character that defined the original '59 without losing clarity—a tone that sits well in a mix and breathes naturally with your dynamics, whether you're locked in rhythm or stepping out front.

Construction & Wiring

Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and keeps the tone transparent through heavy use. The 42AWG plain enamel magnet wire, long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate, and vintage single-conductor braided push-back lead wire are the kind of build details that add up to a pickup you can count on—warm in character, solid in the hands, and built to last through repeated gigs.
