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

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

The SL59-1n Little '59 delivers the warmth and articulation of a vintage PAF in a single-coil-sized format, making it a go-to neck pickup for players who need clarity without losing body and presence on stage. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with ceramic magnets and wax potting, this pickup combines classic voicing with modern reliability and low noise operation—critical for gigging musicians who can't afford microphonic feedback mid-set.

Tone & Electronics

With a DC resistance of 9.86 kΩ and a resonant peak at 5.8 kHz, this neck pickup produces a naturally balanced response across the frequency spectrum. The EQ curve of 6 / 5 / 7 (Bass / Mid / Treble) ensures smooth lows, neutral midrange character, and articulate highs, delivering the full-bodied tone characteristic of P.A.F.-voiced designs—the kind of focused, singing response that cuts through live mixes without harshness.

Design & Build

Constructed with a ceramic bar magnet and wax potted for squeal-free operation, this pickup maintains clarity and sustain without microphonic feedback—essential for reliable live performance. Adjustable pole pieces allow fine-tuning of string balance to match your playing dynamics and rig, while the four-conductor lead wire provides flexibility for multiple wiring configurations and coil-splitting options.
