Seymour Duncan SH-55B Seth Lover Bridge Humbucker Pickup – Nickel Cover

The Seymour Duncan SH-55B Seth Lover bridge pickup faithfully recreates the original 1950s Seth Lover PAF humbucker sound. It produces expressive dynamics, balanced output, and rich harmonic content for classic rock, blues, and vintage-inspired tones.

Equipped with an Alnico II magnet, this pickup provides warm lows, smooth mids, and sparkling highs that cut through the mix without harshness. The bridge-position voicing delivers punch and definition while preserving classic tonal character.

The pickup uses traditional single-conductor wiring and is unpotted to maintain authentic vintage dynamics. The nickel cover gives a classic look for Les Paul–style and other humbucker-equipped guitars.
