Seymour Duncan SH-16 59 Custom Hybrid Guitar Humbucker in Black

Manufacturer's Description

Summary

Harmonically rich hybrid humbucker that uses one coil from the 59 Model neck and one coil from the higher output Duncan Custom model.

The 59Custom Hybrid is a medium output, gritty sounding humbucker that sparkles with upper midrange harmonic content. The brainchild of our incredibly knowledgeable forum members, this humbucker is the result of experimental coil swapping in order to push into new tonal territory. The mismatched coils, and the alnico 5 bar magnet keep the low end nice and tight, and give the mids a grind that is perfect for hard rock and metal. Plenty of crunch and bite on top as well. When split, you get the 59s 7k coil for a more distinct single coil sound.Pair with the 59 neck or Jazz neck model for a nicely balanced setup..Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the 59Custom Hybrid uses mismatched coils, an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.

Recommended for blues, rock, pop, and classic rock, the Seymour Duncan SH-16B s unique hybrid construction pairs a '59 screw coil with a Custom slug coil for crisp, clear highs, powerful lows, and a complex midrange growl. Use it in the bridge position with any vintage-output neck humbucker, such as the '59n or the Alnico II Pro. Suitable for any well-balanced dual-humbucker guitar and it works equally well with maple and rosewood fingerboards.
