Seymour Duncan 59'/Custom Hybrid - Bridge - Black - Electric Guitar Pickup

This is a great hard rock pickup. Works well with my Les Paul into a Marshall amp. With gain the pickup sounds great, has a great hard rock full sound. Dial the volume back about half way and you can get nice classic rock tone without having to touch your amp or use pedals. Bass is full and tight. High end is clear and doesn’t get fuzzy or undefined with gain. On my LP the cool tap is useful but doesn’t sound quite as good as the stock pickup when tapped (Gibson 498). The pickup looks great on double black too. Easy to wire, and came with mounting ring screws and springs. The pickup has a great all around versatile tone that does hard rock and classic rock. I didn’t think it would be as versatile as it is. Mismatched coils and Alnico 5 magnet makes a super tone that surprised me. This pickup has more beef and low mid range than a PAF pickup. It is less harsh and cleans up much better than a high output pickup. Pretty much the best of both worlds.

This pickup can do anything. Don't let the lower medium output fool you. This pickup stays tight and mean even with a fullbore metal pedal pushing the amp. Always keeps clarity but doesn't sound underpowered. It kind of surprised me being a lower mid output pickup because it sounds great playing metal.

This is my favorite medium output humbucker and I've had equally good success in Fender (Tele Deluxe) and Gibson (Les Paul) guitars. It works on a wide variety of genres too from blues to metal.

I have this pickup in a couple of other guitars and always thought it sounds great. I usually get stuff like this from Musicians Friend but they wear out of stock so I went with Amazon. Put it in a LesPaul Special and HolySh_t!!! Nice clean sounds, has like a single coil quality to it. Punchy distorted tones... rips like a P-90 but is all humbucker.

Difficult to review this, because it's a 5 star company and product line. The pickups quality are amazing. So for the review, I'm mostly writing it on my perception of the sound of the pickup. For that it's subjective. For me the pickup sounds much more "harsh" and tinny than I've heard on the SD site and youtube videos. So again, the guitar woods/etc probably contribute to that, but relistening to the clips I do notice they appear brighter than I had first thought. What I can say is I matched this with a 59 neck and the middle position sounded *outstanding*. Really just beyond stellar, but for me, the bridge only position (both coil split and full humbucker) was just too harsh for me, so I returned this pickup.

Great!!

The pickup is hot.. the delivery was hot garbage. I think they sent this thing from Antarctica or maybe Mars.

Great bridge pup. Good cleans, great with light gain or heavy gain. All around bridge workhorse across genres. Splits well, not perfect but enough for difference in tone. Handles phase swaps and series/parallel wiring really well. very happy

I installed this pickup in a Fender Jaguar hh made in Japan (1996) black. This is a great match with this version of the Jaguar, I kept the rest of the electronics stock and was very satisfied with the tone. Great for blues and rock even some light metal. If you listen to sound sample of this pickup you might find it more modern sounding but this wasn't my experience. The pickup sounds open and full with some hair to the sound. Had an issue after installation and contacted Solo guitars who was the seller on Amazon and was very well taken care of, great customer service!!!!

No es nada de lo que se anuncia,es como una 59 normal. La hubiera devuelto a no ser porque le encapsulé convencido de que cumplía las espectativas que decía.

Vendu comme B-Stock sur Amazon à un prix intéressant. Mais ce que j'ai reçu n'est pas un mcro Seymour Duncan. Il ne ressemble en rien au micro commandé : pas de vis, pas de marque, seulement deux conducteurs au lieu de quatre. Il n'est pas normal qu'Amazon revende un produit pareil. C'est tout simplement une contrefaçon ou quelqu'un qui a volé le micro original et l'a remplacé par un micro autre.

Only tried on my practice amp, but sounds good. Nice fat / bright sound.
