Seymour Duncan SH-1N ’59 Model Neck Humbucker Pickup – Gold Cover

The Seymour Duncan SH-1N ’59 Model Neck Humbucker Pickup is inspired by the legendary late-1950s PAF humbuckers that defined classic electric guitar tone. Voiced specifically for the neck position, it delivers warmth, clarity, and exceptional note separation.

Using an Alnico V magnet and vintage-correct winding, the SH-1N offers a slightly tighter low end and clearer highs while retaining true vintage character. The elegant gold cover adds a premium, classic look without compromising tone.

Ideal for blues, jazz, classic rock, and expressive clean or edge-of-breakup tones, this pickup responds beautifully to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes.
