Seymour Duncan TB-59 '59 Trembucker Reverse Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan TB-59 '59 Trembucker Reverse Zebra Pickup

The TB-59 '59 Trembucker delivers warm, articulate vintage tones with modern clarity, striking a balance between classic PAF character and contemporary definition. This bridge-position humbucker excels in rock, blues, and alternative contexts where balanced dynamics and natural breakup matter more than raw output. The reverse zebra coil configuration and hand-assembled construction ensure consistent performance across every unit.

Tone & Output Character

With a vintage output level, 8.5K DC resistance, and a 6 KHz resonant peak, this pickup avoids the compressed midrange of higher-output designs while maintaining articulate highs and full lows. The EQ signature of 6/3/8 (Bass/Mid/Treble) leans toward clarity and presence without sacrificing warmth, making it responsive to pick dynamics and amp interaction—the kind of responsiveness that translates your touch directly to the audience on stage.

Design & Construction

Hand-assembled in Santa Barbara using Alnico 5 bar magnets, 42AWG plain enamel magnet wire, and vacuum wax potting for superior sustain and feedback rejection. The nickel silver bottom plate and 4-conductor lead wire support flexible wiring options, while the F-spaced Trembucker geometry aligns precisely with modern wide-spaced bridge configurations for reliable output and zero install headaches.
