Based on the P.A.F. humbuckers of the late '50s.
While these vintage-style coils give the SH-1 Vintage Blues '59 Model humbuckers an airy quality that keeps them planted firmly in the P.A.F. family, the Alnico 5 bar magnet, and vacuum wax potting have been added to compensate for lighter guitar strings and louder amplifiers than were ever used in the '50s. The result is a pickup with tons of old-school tonal character, but with a brighter top end, and a more compressed sound. The '59s are great for all types of rock and blues.
In addition to the Alnico 5 magnet and wax potting, Seymour Duncan hand builds the '59 Model with a variety of traditional vintage treatments, such as 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, long-legged nickel silver bottom plate, vintage single-conductor braided push-back lead wire and no logo. As with all of P.A.F.-style pickups, the 59 Model is wound on Seymour's old Leesona winder from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI.
