Seymour
Duncan SH-1
The most important thing about the vintage 1959 Patent Applied For pickup was its warm, smooth tone and sustain that was unlike anything heard before. The Seymour Duncan SH-1 is built with the same kind of enameled wire, nickel-plated studs, and balanced coil windings that humbucker inventor Seth Lover used in his first pickups. It looks and sounds just like a '59.
