Seymour Duncan Vintage Blues ’59 Pickup Set SH-1B & SH-1N – Nickel Covers

The Seymour Duncan Vintage Blues ’59 Pickup Set combines the legendary SH-1N neck and SH-1B bridge humbuckers, modeled after original late-1950s PAF pickups. This matched set delivers articulate highs, open midrange, and smooth low-end response.

Using Alnico 5 magnets and vintage-correct winding, the ’59 set offers excellent string definition and dynamic response. The neck pickup provides warm, expressive cleans, while the bridge pickup adds bite and clarity without harshness.

Finished with classic nickel covers, this set is ideal for Les Paul®, ES-style, and other humbucker-equipped guitars where authentic vintage tone and visual elegance are desired.
