This Little Pup Really Sizzles
First, let me say that I've never met a Seymour Duncan pickup I didn't like. I bought a Squire '51 with the thought of rebuilding it from the ground up. When I got to the pickups, it was just a matter of which SD's I wanted to use, so I went with a Pearly Gates to replace the Fender humbucker and a SD quarter pounder for the strat pup. Both performed beautifully, but it was an unfair… read more match-up. The QP was no match against the PG--my fault, not the pups. So I pulled the quarter pounder [to be used in another project] and went with this SL59-1. Wow! With new strings, pots, neck, tuners, and SD well-paired humbuckers, this '51 really sizzles. In full disclosure, I kept the original bridge and string-thru ferrules; I saw no need to replace them.
Perfect compliment
When I set out to re-invent my Stratocaster, I started with the mini JB, then I researched a good compliment for that big tone. I found it in a pair of Mini 59s. Together they make my Stratocaster capable of producing any tone I need, from soft and mellow to fire breathing metal. There's no thin tinny sound here, my Strat is now a raging beast.
Seymour Duncan Little 59
Great pickup that gives you the options of the classic neck humbucker, or split for that Strat single coil tone.
PAF tone in a tiny package
This product definitely performs as advertised, and at about the same price as a good jazz humbucker. I can get great jazz sounds out of my Strat with this pickup in the neck position. Of course with a solid body, light gauge strings, and a tremolo bridge it's not going to sound exactly the same as a real jazzbox -- but it's really good. The instructions and diagram were clear… read more and accurate. I did not swap the black and gray wires as the instructions suggested for a Strat, and so lost the hum-cancelling in switch position 4 (but will try that next weekend). I've not adjusted the individual pole pieces yet, so it may sound even better when I get to that.
