Seymour Duncan Vintage Blues Set - '59 Model SH-1N & SH-1B (Black)

The 59 Model humbuckers capture the essence of legendary P.A.F. tone while adapting to modern playing demands. These vintage-style coils maintain that distinctive airy quality that defines the P.A.F. family, but incorporate alnico 5 bar magnets and vacuum wax potting to handle today’s lighter strings and higher-powered amplifiers that weren’t around in the 1950s.

What you get is a pickup loaded with old-school tonal character, enhanced by a brighter top end and more compressed sound that works brilliantly across all styles of rock and blues. The construction stays true to vintage methods with 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long legged nickel silver bottom plates, and vintage single-conductor braided push-back lead wire, all finished without logos for that authentic look.

Each 59 Model is hand-built using traditional vintage treatments and wound on Seymour’s original Leesona winder from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI. This attention to authentic construction methods ensures these pickups maintain the sonic DNA of the classics while meeting the performance requirements of contemporary players.
