Discover classic neck-position humbucker tone with the Seymour Duncan SH-1n ’59 Model Neck Pickup - Black, available at Irvine Art and Music. Designed in the spirit of vintage P.A.F.-style humbuckers, the ’59 neck model delivers a warm, full sound with clear attack, sweet sustain, and the open character players look for in blues, rock, jazz, and classic electric guitar tones.

Vintage-Inspired Neck Tone

The SH-1n ’59 Model is voiced for the neck position, where its warm low end, smooth response, and clear high-end detail help chords stay defined and lead lines sing. It is a versatile choice for players who want a traditional humbucker sound that remains articulate rather than overly dark.

Clear Attack and Open Mids

Seymour Duncan gives the ’59 neck a slightly enhanced top end for improved pick-attack clarity, along with a gently scooped midrange for a smoother, more open sound. This helps preserve note separation in chords while still giving single-note lines a full, expressive voice.

Classic Construction with Modern Reliability

An Alnico 5 magnet and vintage-output design help give this pickup its familiar P.A.F.-style response, while vacuum wax potting supports reliable performance at higher stage volumes. Its black open-coil look keeps the appearance clean and straightforward for a wide range of electric guitar builds and upgrades.
