Seymour Duncan SH-1n '59 Model Humbucker 2 Conductor Neck Pickup - Black
The Seymour Duncan SH-1b '59 Model Humbucker 2 Conductor Neck Pickup is a vintage spec humbucker that will complement any two-pickup humbucker guitar. The moderate output lends a warm tone, good note definition, and the Alnico 5 bar magnet gives crisp wound string response, clear top end, and none of the muddiness that sometimes afflicts neck pickups. A great blend of vintage and modern, the Duncan '59 neck humbucker is a great upgrade for any guitar.
Alnico 5 bar magnet

In the words of Seymour Duncan....
The ’59 neck model is one of our most popular pickups because it’s so versatile. Like its bridge-position sibling, the ’59 neck is designed in the spirit of the original P.A.F. humbuckers of the 1950s, with sweet sustain, and a warm, full sound that still possesses a clear attack. We’ve made a few refinements to slightly modernize the design and make it more adaptable to different styles. The high end is slightly boosted for improved pick-attack clarity and the mids are a little scooped for an open, smooth sound that’s great for preserving the clarity of the individual notes in a chord. The ’59 neck was born to accompany the ’59 bridge, but countless players pair it with a high output bridge humbucker, such as a JB or Custom. It’s also a popular choice for humbucker-routed Telecasters.
