Seymour Duncan Little 59 Review (SL59-1B) How well does it fit into a Strat?

[@JimmyDel]

Sounds great! Nice bite to it. Did you find it tricky to adjust the height to get an even volume with the other pickups?

[@edtheshredclarke]

Surprisingly no! About equal to the single coils and it seems pretty balanced to me.

[@spawn302]

​@@edtheshredclarkethats crazy. i am finding my bridge pickup incredibly quiet compared to my lollar blondes

[@christopherniegisch2889]

Hi Ed, many thankls for the phantastic demo - sold me! Which Amp and Settings did you use? Many thanks in advance Chris

[@edtheshredclarke]

Thank you! It is the Line6 Helix model of a Marshall Plexi in the bright channel. Slightly cut bass and boosted treble with the drive about 1 o clock

[@digipeet2866]

wow..the sound..amazing! beautiful pickguard..whats the brand and color?.. thnxx !🎉❤❤❤

[@edtheshredclarke]

Cheers! The pickguard was actually just a cheap one off Amazon!

[@Afterasimplelife]

I have this pick up in my Silver sky for Versatility 😊

[@onurbozdag8431]

You have a nice technique mate, its aggresive yet soulful..

[@onurbozdag8431]

And yeah bought a strat, thinkin about gettin one of those 59's then you have the swiss knife of guitars...

[@edtheshredclarke]

Cheers!

[@paulkasputis5978]

I really hate the brittleness of the strat bridge pickup. You sold me.

[@lpluva1]

25 quid?! I bought one yesterday off Reverb for $60 plus $20 to ship. Why do I never find these deals?

[@edtheshredclarke]

I got very lucky!

[@Badhands55]

I like the stacked JB in the bridge and the little 59 in the neck

[@edtheshredclarke]

Like this you mean? 😜 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3bZeXuAZ6tlga8si=idc-lzO_WXdfzQ7s

[@yaniv-nos-tubes]

hi. i never liked the little 59 or jb jr, real humbuckers sounds better. i had the hot rails in the bridge of my 57 ri for many years and i loved it ,a real beast of a pickup for solos . i swapped it for the seymour stra bro 90(custom shop ) it's a single coil sized p 90, sounds thicker and darker than the mini humbuckers and i love it. i also recommend adding a tele option bridge+neck great for cleans and drive ,but don't bother with all 3 together it sounds weird.

[@crigonalgaming1258]

You need to raise these pickups a bit higher than you are used to. These are the only options of guys who want a humbucker on strats whose bodies cannot accommodate a bigger humbucker.

[@billvillamusic3625]

Great demo! Cheers from California 👍

[@edtheshredclarke]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@edmann6444]

250k pots?

[@edtheshredclarke]

I haven’t changed them so I’m not actually sure. I would imagine they are 250k though

[@Badhands55]

Just make sure the volume is a higher value than either of the tone pots

[@vynleshmynle7372]

Play the exact same thing with a different pick up and A, B it ,

[@sweezyjackson4935]

Why waste money on a duncan? Gfs makes just as hot and just as good pickups for a fraction of a duncan. They sound just as good too.

[@leehenderson8132]

Id go without pick ups begore id put any seymor duncan crap on my guitar.HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS COMPANY.SOO MANY MORE PICK UP WINDERS OUT THERE....SORRY MAN.
