Gearank High Notes

Gearank Recommendation

The Seymour Duncan SH-1b appeared on our recommended list for Budget Guitar Pickups in 2 consecutive editions from December 2019 until November 2021.

Overview

The Seymour Duncan SH-1b is a drop-in humbucker designed to reproduce the vibe and tone of classic Seth Lover-designed PAF pickups found on Gibson Les Pauls in the late ’50s.

Not to be confused with the Seymour Duncan Seth Lover SH-55, The SH-1b was made to be slightly more modern with a mid scoop and more compression.

It follows after vintage specs, including the single-conductor cable, long-legged bottom plate, and the use of 42AWG plain enamel wire.

Specifications

  • Position: Bridge
