Seymour Duncan SH-1n '59 Model Neck Humbucker, Four Conductor, Gold Overview

The most important thing about the vintage Patent Applied For pickup was its warm, smooth tone and sustain that was unlike anything heard before. The 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. Single conductor cable is standard. With traditional spacing.

I already have a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover in 17 inch archtop and thought I would try the 59 in my Epiphone joe Pass Pro as I wasn't 100% happy with the Probucker which was installed. Wiring was a problem as the Joe Pass has solderless socket pots and It seems impossible to buy the correct connectors. I managed to make the connections with metal clips from computer parts. The pickup is certainly better than the Ep[iPhone one. the base string tone is far clearer and more rounded. It is certainly an improvement but is somewhat similar in sound to the Epiphone. This probably down to the actual wooden tone of the guitar itself. It doesn't sound the same as the Seth Lover, but then again the 2 guitars are very different. The 17 inch Peerless is a carved top guitar and not limited. the 59 is still a very good pickup, but the choice of guitar makes a difference.
