Seymour Duncan Slant '59 for Nighthawk (black)

The Gibson Nighthawk was a very forward-thinking guitar when it was first introduced in 1993. Essentially, it combined the lower bout and thin body of an SG with the stout, curvy upper bout of a Les Paul and a 25 1/2" scale. What really made it unique was its pickup combination, which included Gibson's NHT bridge position humbucker, mounted on a slant, together with a single-coil middle pickup and a mini-humbucker in the neck position. If guitarists wanted replacement pickups for the unique Slant NHT humbucker, their options were extremely limited. The '59 is Seymour Duncan's take on the celebrated "Patent Applied For" humbucker, and its wound on the very same Leesona Model 102 winding machine that produced the early P.A.F. humbuckers. The output is vintage, and the tone is clear and crystalline.
