The '59 is Seymour Duncan's take on the celebrated "Patent Applied For" humbucker, and its wound on the very same Leesona Model 102 winding machine that produced the early P.A.F. humbuckers. The output is vintage, and the tone is clear and crystalline.
This is basically a "built-in" version of the Benedetto® S-Series. It maintains the same natural acoustic qualities of the instrument. According to Bob Benedetto, this pickup is "the best sounding jazz pickup I've ever heard. There isn't even a close second."
Like the neck position model, the bridge position humbucker is a faithful replica of the great sounding "patent applied for" humbuckers that Seth E. Lover designed in 1955. The pickup comes with slight variations in DC resistance, just like...
I made this model to look and sound like a well-worn '50s humbucker as originally designed by Seth E. Lover. The pickups are built to traditional standards. Each has its own character and DC resistance, just like the originals....

The pickups are built to traditional standards; each has its own character and DC resistance, just like the originals. Included is a front-tapered mounting ring and the screws that go with it. The pickup is not wax-potted, which retains the vintage sound and appearance. Crafted by hand in Seymour's 'Antiquity' room, each pickup is signed on the magnet and bottom plate to guarantee that you are getting an original Seymour W. Duncan Antiquity™

Same amazing 9-volt active pickups as 6-string Blackouts, but built to direct retrofit nearly all 7-string electric guitars, thanks to two cover sizes.
9-volt active humbucker for aggressive playing styles. Recommended for old school metal, garage, punk, thrash, drop tunings, and other heavy rock styles.
Mick Thomson/Slipknot asked for even tighter bottom, and more searing top end cut, and Seymour Duncan delivered with the EMTY, a pulverizing addition to our Blackouts line.
High output humbucker built for aggressive playing styles. Recommended for old school metal, nu-metal, gothic, garage, punk, thrash and other heavy rock styles. Great for drop tunings.
For a limited time--one year only--we're proud to offer this 35th Anniversary Commemorative JB. Like the earliest production JB, this special Commemorative pickup will have single-conductor wire, rough-cast magnets, butyrate bobbins, and long-legged bottom plates featuring a special laser-engraved 35th Anniversary logo.
The hot-rodded JB Model™ is the world's most popular humbucker. Its powerful coil windings give it loads of output, but it retains its punchy upper-midrange detail.
Classic moderate output humbucker. Especially popular in neck position. Don't let the name fool you; it's not only great for jazz, but also country, blues, funk, classic rock and heavy rock.
Active, 9-volt-powered preamp built into the pickup. Provides the benefits of an active pickup without sacrificing the famous, organic, "Seymourized" tone. Great for classic rock, punk, garage, thrash, old school metal, nu-metal, black metal and other heavy rock and aggressive music styles.
Parallel Axis Trembucker provides modern high-output sound. Great for old school metal, nu-metal, gothic, garage, punk, thrash and other heavy rock styles.
Uniquely constructed humbucker uses Alnico 2 rod pole pieces to achieve true single-coil sound when split (tapped). Recommended for classic rock, jazz, blues, funk and country.
