Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, it features ceramic magnets, a 4-conductor lead for versatile wiring options, and adjustable pole pieces for precise tonal control.

## Description

SL59-1N Little 59 Strato Hum-C Ceramic 4 Conduct Arm Black Guitar Pickup The Seymour Duncan SL59-1 is a coil sized humbucker with voice of P.A.F. Great for country, jazz, blues, funk, classic rock and heavy rock. This little rough is designed to transmit the warm and smooth tone of an old P.A.F. humbucker in a single coil size direct replacement. It has a dynamic and even response, and the adjustable stick pieces allow the guitarist to tune the balance of the strings and dial just the right amount of punch. Compared to JB Jr., it has less production and higher averages. Comes with four conductor connection cable. For all well-balanced instruments Works equally well with maple or rosewood scales.

Review: Top seller for a reason! - Great pickup for a Strat in the bridge and allows a single coil guitar to cover many styles of music like rock, country, pop, funk, blues, etc. but maintain that classic strat vibe and tone. Has great tone, stands out when played, great clarity. Easy installation with just minimal soldering needed, wiring diagram and recommendations included. NOTE: On most Fender guitars the pickups will be out of phase with Seymour Duncan pickups. The instructions recommend swapping the green and black wires for SD pickups (black and bare wire to ground, green to the selector switch). If you don’t swap and pickup is weak or sounds lost, that might be the reason. Also, don't forget to solder the red/white together if not using for coil tapping. I have a Fender American Strat with Texas Specials (I did swap the wires as mentioned above), and this matches great to that output and tone. Previously I tried a hot rail but that was a bit muddy, it did the heavy rock really well, but not the variety and didn’t stand out in a solo. The hot rail also didn’t blend well with the Texas Special middle pickup. The JB Jr. has more treble and clarity and matches nicely. The polepieces are adjustable! Look at your polepieces currently on your single coil you are replacing and try to match the same height…it really does make a difference! (just need a flat head small screwdriver). Overall just a really balanced pickup, covers a lot of ground and is the best seller for a reason! My band plays every weekend and we cover everything from Dolly Parton to GnR and this pickup works well for all.
Review: Basically turns your Neck Position into a 59 Les Paul - So I had the Gilmour Black strat setup but the Fender Fat 50's were not taking distortion very well... or high end pedals like Thorpy . I loved how it sounded clean though... but I just got tired of the weird wobble effect by the magnetic pull of the pups so I decided to go with sonethibg like a humbucker... I didn't want to lose the stratiness of my guitar so I got a Duckbucker for the middle, which the say if you put it in between two higher output pickups you get the quack and twang... I left the Bridge intact with the SSL-5. The neck has always been my favorite position , I love warmer tones... I did lose some chime and bell tones with the Little 59' but man... this pickup has a lot of balls. Very nice output, very nice cleans and best of all, it takes all my pedals like a champ... super smooth and amazing fuzz, overdrive or distortion... as promised the duckbucker gives me the strat tones from position 3 and down... position 4 sound similar to the 5th but with more high end sparkle... I was impressed by this pickup and I'm still getting used to it and experimenting. But it definitely feels like the best of both worlds... I was ready to start using my Les Paul, even though I was missing the whammy bar, but now I basically have a Les Paul on the neck and a strat on the lower positions and I can still use the tremolo arm even on the 59 Les Paul position ;) Overall I think it would be extremely difficult to not like/love this pickup... like I said, I did lose low end sparkle and chime... so it definitely does not sound like a Single Coil... but it's silent and has all the qualities of a Humbucker... I no longer have the Gilmour Setup, but that's a good thing... my guitar now looks a bit different, changed a few knobs to black... and now it sounds completaly different. I am stoked and can't wait to record and hear how it sounds!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well rounded
*by B***B on January 29, 2013*

This is the 3rd of these single coil space Duncan humbuckers I've put into the neck position. The JB Jr. is a little fat and gets muddy easily....but you can dial it in nicely with the tone knob using it in conjunction with the bridge or mid (depending on 2 or 3 pup setup). . The Lil' Screamin Demon...well, I have the full sized humbucker in a bridge position....and it gains out nicely. The mini in the neck, doesn't really accentuate the mids like I hoped it would...like its big brother does. This brings us to this pup...the lil' 59. This is a very well rounded pup. I can get a nice chunky set of chord progressions out of it, and soloing it will hang onto the high mids while staying just above muddy on the bottom end. While it lacks the "glass" of the demon, it still has a somewhat sweet high end. Of the three pups...this is the one to go clean with.....but it plays well dirty too. My 3 Duncan set-ups look like this: Screamin Demon bridge, Lil' 59 neck in a MIJ (86 JV) Squire, JB in the bridge, JB JR. neck of a 2000 Standard Strat and a Custom Custom in the Bridge, and Lil' Demon neck of the 1982 Strat. All 3 of these guitars are tonally very similar... with alder bodies and rosewood fret boards, and all 3 are upgraded with an unbleached bone nut. I think they make a decent base for comparison of pups. (these are the Duncan set-ups. These 3 guitars only have two pups. The other strats have all 3....the texas special set up in two, and a lace neck and mid, texas hot antiquity bridge set up in one, and the abby's (AY)that came in my custom shop.) The bottom line is that if you use these in the neck of a 3 pup strat you lose the sweet spot in the 4(th click toward neck) selector position. It has a very different sound used in conjunction with a middle single coil. But different is not bad.....because this pup will flat out howl if you let it.
