Seymour Duncan SL59-1n Little '59 for Strat Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan SL59-1n Little '59 for Strat Black Pickup

The SL59-1n Little '59 brings humbucker grit into a single-coil Strat neck pocket, giving you that warm, articulate voice without losing the classic Stratocaster's middle and bridge clarity. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup cuts through on stage with midrange presence and harmonic depth that sits tight in a full band mix—proven across rock, blues, and alternative rigs.

Tone & Output Character

A ceramic bar magnet and moderate output deliver balanced, focused tone with natural compression and smooth sustain—strong enough for lead lines and clean rhythm work without drowning out your bridge and middle pickups. The 5.8 kHz resonant peak keeps your neck tone articulate and defined in a mix, never thin or shrill even at volume.

Design & Construction

Wax potting kills microphonic squeal and feedback dead, so you get stable, silent operation night after night. The four-conductor cable opens up series, parallel, and split-coil wiring—swap voicing options on the fly if your rig demands it.
