Review: Hot, Punchy, and Super Versatile - The SL-59 is an amazing pickup—hot enough for thick, saturated tones but still clear and dynamic for cleaner playing. It has a strong midrange punch without getting muddy, and it responds really well to picking dynamics. Perfect for rock and metal, but I’ve also used it for blues and it sounds great. Highly recommend if you want a versatile single-coil replacement with some extra bite.
Review: Basically turns your Neck Position into a 59 Les Paul - So I had the Gilmour Black strat setup but the Fender Fat 50's were not taking distortion very well... or high end pedals like Thorpy . I loved how it sounded clean though... but I just got tired of the weird wobble effect by the magnetic pull of the pups so I decided to go with sonethibg like a humbucker... I didn't want to lose the stratiness of my guitar so I got a Duckbucker for the middle, which the say if you put it in between two higher output pickups you get the quack and twang... I left the Bridge intact with the SSL-5. The neck has always been my favorite position , I love warmer tones... I did lose some chime and bell tones with the Little 59' but man... this pickup has a lot of balls. Very nice output, very nice cleans and best of all, it takes all my pedals like a champ... super smooth and amazing fuzz, overdrive or distortion... as promised the duckbucker gives me the strat tones from position 3 and down... position 4 sound similar to the 5th but with more high end sparkle... I was impressed by this pickup and I'm still getting used to it and experimenting. But it definitely feels like the best of both worlds... I was ready to start using my Les Paul, even though I was missing the whammy bar, but now I basically have a Les Paul on the neck and a strat on the lower positions and I can still use the tremolo arm even on the 59 Les Paul position ;) Overall I think it would be extremely difficult to not like/love this pickup... like I said, I did lose low end sparkle and chime... so it definitely does not sound like a Single Coil... but it's silent and has all the qualities of a Humbucker... I no longer have the Gilmour Setup, but that's a good thing... my guitar now looks a bit different, changed a few knobs to black... and now it sounds completaly different. I am stoked and can't wait to record and hear how it sounds!
