Featuring mismatched coils, an Alnico 5 bar magnet, and vacuum wax potting, it delivers tight lows, crunchy mids, and upper midrange sparkle ideal for hard rock and metal. Its 4-conductor wiring allows coil splitting for single-coil tones, making it a versatile, handcrafted pickup built in Santa Barbara, CA. ## Description Summary Harmonically rich hybrid humbucker that uses one coil from the 59 Model neck and one coil from the higher output Duncan Custom model. Description The 59/Custom Hybrid is a medium output, gritty sounding humbucker that sparkles with upper midrange harmonic content. The brainchild of our incredibly knowledgeable forum members, this humbucker is the result of experimental coil swapping in order to push into new tonal territory. The mismatched coils, and the alnico 5 bar magnet keep the low end nice and tight, and give the mids a grind that is perfect for hard rock and metal. Plenty of crunch and bite on top as well. When split, you get the 59s 7k coil for a more distinct single coil sound. Pair with the 59 neck or Jazz neck model for a nicely balanced setup. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the 59/Custom Hybrid uses mismatched coils, an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. Review: Great all around hard rock 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. Review: Another great pickup from Seymour Duncan. - 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. ## Features - The ’59/Custom Hybrid is a medium output humbucker pickup that sparkles with upper midrange harmonic content and grit.
