Seymour Duncan SH-1B 59 Bridge Pickup (Tortoise Shell) Cover Bridge

The Seymour Duncan SH-1B '59 humbucker brings classic P.A.F. voicing to the bridge position with contemporary manufacturing precision. Wound to 8.20k DC resistance, this vintage–output pickup captures the open, airy character that defined late–fifties tone. Alnico 5 magnets provide the midrange focus and harmonic clarity that made the original Patent Applied For humbuckers legendary among rock and blues players.

This bridge–position passive humbucker ships with both 1–conductor braided shield and 4–conductor shielded cable options, allowing coil–split and series/parallel wiring configurations. The tortoise shell cover adds vintage cosmetics without compromising magnetic field integrity. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the SH-1B balances sweet top–end articulation with the warmth expected from Alnico 5 pole pieces, delivering detailed note separation even under heavy gain.
