Seymour Duncan Humbucker SH-1B 7-String 59 Model Bridge Pickup

Seymour Duncan Humbucker SH-1B 7-String 59 Model Bridge Pickup

The SH-1B 7-String '59 Model delivers the warm, articulate character of a classic P.A.F. humbucker scaled specifically for extended-range instruments. This bridge position pickup combines vintage-inspired tonal coloration with the clarity needed to cut through modern heavy playing styles, making it equally at home in progressive metal, jazz fusion, or alternative contexts where seven-string definition matters.

Tone & Electronics

Built around an Alnico 5 bar magnet and wound with 42AWG plain enamel magnet wire, this pickup produces the smooth, singing sustain characteristic of Seymour Duncan's '59 design without unwanted feedback. The wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, ensuring stable, feedback-free operation even at high gain levels typical of extended-range setups.

Construction & Specifications

Hand-assembled in Santa Barbara, California, the SH-1B features a nickel silver bottom plate and 4-conductor lead wire for flexible wiring options. The 7.6 Ω DCR and passive mount configuration are purpose-engineered for seven-string bridge applications, delivering balanced output across the extended low end without sacrificing upper-midrange clarity.
