Description
Seymour Duncan TB-59 '59 Trembucker White Pickup
The TB-59 '59 Trembucker captures the warm, articulate character of a classic '59 design with trembucker spacing optimized for guitars with wider string spacing at the bridge. This handmade pickup combines vintage tone character with modern construction, delivering balanced output and clarity across the frequency spectrum for recording and live work.
Tone & Recording Performance
Built with an Alnico V bar magnet and 42 AWG plain enamel magnet wire, this pickup achieves a DC Resistance of 8.13 kΩ and a resonant peak at 6 kHz, producing full lows, controlled mids, and articulate highs that cut through a mix without harshness. The EQ curve of 6/3/8 (Bass/Mid/Treble) ensures definition and presence across both clean and driven sources, translating well through interfaces and mixing chains.
Construction & Studio Reliability
Each pickup is vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphony and ensure consistent, noise-free tracking sessions, while the long-legged nickel-silver bottom plate and four-conductor wiring provide flexibility for series, parallel, and split configurations during tracking and reamping. The short legs accommodate standard bridge mounting, and every unit is handmade in Santa Barbara, California.
