What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Little '59 (ST59-1B)
“In this particular guitar, the little 59 is hollow sounding, bright and lacks output..”
“I like the 59 too, but the SL seems to punch the mids out there a little more, and it's still slightly warmer, maybe due partially to the nickel cover.”
