As a fortunate owner of genuine bursts I seek to find ways to replicate the tonal information that a PAF offers, which to my ears is the benchmark for the mahagony/maple top ebony/rw combination within a solidbody or es type guitar. I sunk these pu's into many guitars. My staple for live playing is a 95 Gibson LP Standard which has this PU in the bridge position.The sound is virtually identical to my genuine 59 burst. Do not look elsewhere: The SH 1 is bang on!!!I use 4c version to be able to BB/Greeny my sound if I feel like it. I also used the DiMarzio PAF 36th which is nearly as good.....and available in aged double white since DiM. has the patent....Ich empfehle diesen Tonabnehmer unbedingt als die bestgelungenste Replik des originalen PAF's....Wenn die Gitarren nicht so wertvoll wären würde Ich in meiner Lieblings 58er den Bridge PU tatsächlich mit dem SH 1 tauschen um diesen Out Of Phase Sound zu haben.

Great sounding rock pickup
Neleor 20.12.2017
The bridge version of the Seymour Duncan '59 pickup. The output is not high, but the Alnico V magnet feels like it hits the amp harder than an Alnico II pickup. The pickup has a mid-scooped EQ, compensating for the more mid-focussed sound most bridge pickups have. The sound is a bit less vintage than for example the Pearly Gates, but has a better crunch sound.
The pickup has 4-conductor wiring, allowing you to coil-tap it. In coil-tap mode the sound is rather weak, and it is not anything I would ever really use.
I used this pickup in an Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro. The polepieces did not line up perfectly with the strings. The trembucker version of the Pearly Gates didn't either though. It should not make much of a noticeable difference to the sound if the polepieces line up perfectly anyway.

Le SH-1 '59 est un humbucker versatile, avec un son équilibré qui sait tout faire. La version 4C permet de l'utiliser en simple bobinage, avec un son qui reste convaincant. L'écartement des plots (50 mm entre les extrèmes) est plus adapté aux guitares type Gibson vintage (Les Paul et demi-caisses), un point à prendre spécialement en considération pour cette version B (bridge). A vérifier sur sa guitare, néanmoins cet écartement légèrement plus large que l'original doit normalement passer sur la plupart des modèles.
Le Zebra est un plus indéniable pour obtenir une copie plus vraie que nature pour le son ET pour le look...

il suono è veramente pieno e potente al punto giusto.
lo utilizzo al ponte su di una simil les paul (dean zelinsky) con manico avvitato.
Da del filo da torcere alla mia gibson les paul classic del1997!!
Lo consiglio a tutti!!
