Seymour Duncan TB-16 59/Custom Hybrid, White Pickup

Seymour Duncan TB-16 59/Custom Hybrid Bridge Pickup, White

The TB-16 59/Custom Hybrid delivers a balanced, articulate voice that bridges classic PAF character with modern output and clarity. This F-Spaced humbucker pairs traditional Alnico V magnets with a hybrid coil design—combining different wire gauges and DC resistances in each coil—to achieve rich harmonic complexity without sacrificing definition. Built for players who demand versatility across genres, from blues and rock to harder styles.

Tone & Output Character

With a DC Impedance of 11.5 kΩ and a Resonant Peak at 5.95 kHz, this pickup produces moderate output and a balanced EQ profile—6 / 6 / 8 (Bass/Mid/Treble)—that emphasizes clarity without excessive midrange coloration. The Alnico V bar magnet responds dynamically to pick attack while maintaining articulate note separation across all strings, cutting through a live mix with definition.

Construction & Engineering

Hand-built construction with nickel silver bottom plate and vacuum wax potting ensures durability and hum rejection—critical for gigging players relying on consistent performance night after night. The four-conductor cable enables series, parallel, or split-coil wiring options, adapting easily to various control configurations on your instrument.
