Seymour Duncan SH-1n '59 Model White Pickup

The SH-1n '59 Model is a neck humbucker built for players who want that warm, articulate vintage PAF character without the vintage price or hunt. This pickup brings classic construction into modern consistency, so your neck position stays balanced and defined night after night—whether you're laying down smooth rhythm or digging into vintage-styled leads on stage.

Tone & Output Character

Built on an Alnico V magnet with 7.6K ohms DC resistance, this pickup finds the sweet spot between clarity and warmth. The plain enamel winding and balanced coil design deliver smooth, responsive tone across the board—articulate highs and full lows that sit right in a mix and feel natural under your fingers in any style.

Construction & Winding

Vacuum wax potting keeps feedback locked down while keeping the organic character intact. The build features a long-legged nickel silver bottom plate, nickel plated studs, and a wooden spacer—details that add up to mechanical stability and clarity that works for years on the road. Standard configuration includes vintage single-conductor braided cable, with a 4-conductor wiring option available for coil-splitting and phase-switching applications.
