Seymour Duncan SH-1B 59 Bridge Pickup (Gold Mesh)

The Seymour Duncan SH-1B '59 humbucker bridges the gap between vintage P.A.F. tone and contemporary reliability. Wound to 8.20k DCR at the bridge position, this alnico 5–loaded pickup delivers the open, detailed character that defined classic rock and blues records. The gold mesh cover adds visual distinction while maintaining the tonal warmth and clarity that made the original Patent Applied For humbuckers legendary among players who value articulate mids and sweet high–end response.

Constructed entirely in the USA, the SH-1B uses alnico 5 bar magnets for balanced output and harmonic complexity across all six strings. Two cable configurations ship with each pickup: single–conductor braided shield and four–conductor shielded, allowing series, parallel, and split–coil wiring options. The vintage output design maintains clarity under gain while preserving note separation in chord voicings. This humbucker responds dynamically to picking attack, making it particularly effective in applications where touch sensitivity and tonal transparency matter more than sheer output.
