Description
Seymour Duncan TB-59 '59 Trembucker White Pickup
The TB-59 '59 Trembucker delivers the warm, articulate character of a classic '59 design with trembucker spacing optimized for guitars with wider string spacing at the bridge. This handmade pickup bridges vintage tone and modern construction, offering balanced output and clarity across the frequency spectrum—essential for players who need their bridge pickup to cut through in a live mix without losing definition.
Tone & Output
Built with an Alnico V bar magnet and 42 AWG plain enamel magnet wire, this pickup achieves a DC Resistance of 8.13 kΩ and a resonant peak at 6 kHz, producing full lows, controlled mids, and articulate highs. The EQ curve of 6/3/8 (Bass/Mid/Treble) ensures this pickup maintains definition without brittleness, delivering consistent punch on stage whether you're dialing in clean tones or driving it hard through overdrive and distortion.
Construction & Design
Each pickup is vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphony and ensure consistent performance night after night, while the long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate and four-conductor wiring provide flexibility for series, parallel, and split configurations. The short legs accommodate standard bridge mounting, and every unit is handmade in Santa Barbara, California—built to the tolerances that working musicians depend on.

Is this pickup handmade, and where?
