The Seymour Duncan SH-1b '59 Model is a vintage-style bridge humbucker built as a take on the late-1950s Seth Lover PAF. It uses plain enamel wire, a long-legged bottom plate and a 4-conductor cable, and it is vacuum wax potted to keep squeal down at high gain. Its voice is warm and clear in cleans with a slightly scooped midrange, and it stays full and bright under distortion with smooth sustain. It suits players chasing classic rock and blues tones who want coil-split wiring options, and it is a common upgrade over hotter stock bridge pickups.

The Seymour Duncan '59 Model SH-1b is a humbucking pickup for electric guitar, made for the bridge position. It is Seymour Duncan's take on the Seth Lover PAF (Patent Applied For) humbucker found on the Gibson Les Paul of the late 1950s.
It uses plain enamel wire and a long-legged bottom plate, and it has no Seymour Duncan logo. The pickup is vacuum wax potted to prevent squealing. Its midrange is slightly more scooped than that of the Seth Lover model. The 4-conductor cable is white.
The pickup has a late-1950s, vintage-correct humbucker sound. Clean tones are warm and crystalline. Distorted tones are full and bright, with smooth sustain.
