Description Seymour Duncan SH55N Seth Lover Humbucker Pickup for NECK position.. Hand built exactly the way Seth Lover designed, these faithful PAFs deliver an open airy humbucker tone for your bridge position The Seth Lover neck model gives you that warm airy, open tone by striking just the right balance of low end warmth with a smooth but articulate top end. The alnico 2 bar magnet helps to sweeten the high end response, while the vintage output coils bring out this pickups rich harmonic content. Chords will have a full, open sound, and single notes will have a soft, yet articulate feel. The un-potted nickel silver cover gives the tone an almost piano like percussive quality. Pair with the Seth lover neck model for the perfect PAF setup. Each Seth Lover Model humbucker is hand built in Santa Barbara the way Seth Lover designed them. The mold we use for our butyrate bobbins was created by the same factory that built theoriginalPAF mold for Gibson. Other key features include our specially manufactured 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, nickel silver cover, 2.5-inch alnico 2 bar magnet, custom machined metal and maple spacers, single conductor push- back braided lead wire, and nickel silver bottom plate.We wind every Seth Lover humbucker on Seymour’s original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI., for that unmistakable vintage tone and feel.

5.2 Humbuckers
5.2 Humbucker 5-9 5.2 Humbuckers The interference occurring with single-coil pickups motivated the development of the Humbucker. Single-coil pickups do not only pickup the vibration of the strings and generate a corresponding electric voltage, but they are also sensitive to magnetic fields as they are radiated by transformers, fluorescent lamps, or mains cables. Instead of having one coil, the "Hum-Bucker" consists of two coils connected to form a dipole and wired such that they are out of phase. The magnetic field generated by external interference sources induces in each coil the same voltage. Because of the anti-phase connection of the two coils the voltages cancel each other out. If the field generated by the permanent magnet would also flow through both coils with the same polarity, the signals generated by the vibrating string also be cancelled – this of course must not happen. For this reason the permanent field flows through the two coils in an anti-parallel manner such that the voltages induced by the vibrating strings are out of phase. Because the coils are connected out of phase, the voltages are turned twice by 180° i.e. they are again in phase (180° +180° = 360° corresp. to 0°). With this arrangement the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved somewhat compared to single-coil pickups (chapter 5.7). As early as the 1930s designers sought to develop a marketable pickup based on compensation principles which were generally already known. Seth Lover, technician with the guitar manufacturer Gibson, achieved the commercial break-through.

TZ Fender Humbucker Pt 1
"Wide-Range"!? A discussion of the Fender Humbucking Pickup Original, Clones & Competition Tilmann Zwicker GITEC (https://www.gitec-forum-eng.de) Part 1 History, Build and Measurements: Original CuNiFe & Reissues 1 Preface by the author: For quite a while, the Fender Humbucking pickup was kind of a mystery to me. I was aware that Fender made some guitars sporting that device (Starcaster, Telecaster Deluxe, Telecaster Custom, and the 2nd version of the Telecaster Thinline - and the 2nd version of the Telecaster Bass) but no one in my circles played anything like that. I remember playing a jam session (maybe 1975) where the other two guitarists incidentally both played Telecaster Customs (one of them heavily modded with a third Fender Humbucker - quite a feat for the time), but since I was totally nervous (being the junior amongst what I considered much more serious and accomplished musicians) I never paid much attention to whether they got a particular sound. I think I did asked one of the guys and got a response along the lines of "yeah we play these pickups 'cause the give more output but retain more of that Fender sound". Anyway, that was my one and only encounter with the Fender Humbucker for a long time. In the mid 1980's I could finally afford to keep more than just that one main guitar, and with a Les Paul and an ES-335 already at home, I decided that I should finally branch out into the world of Fenders, as well. In a strange coincidence, I found 2 Telecasters within a few days in the want ads in Munich (not a regular occurrence back then): a Vintage Reissue Tele (the first kind they made in the 1980's), and a 1973 Thinline ..

Vintage Gibson PAF (Patent Applied For) Humbucker Pickup Info
Vintage Gibson PAF (Patent Applied For) Humbucker Pickup Info. Because of the amount of "bogus" PAF (Patent Applied For) Gibson humbucker pickups out there, I was asked to create this web page (thanks to GW Dean and BurstMeUp for information and pictures). This web page includes information on the pickups themselves *and* their plastic mounting rings. The originality of the pickups and their mounting rings are both important factors in the integrity of a vintage Gibson guitar. There are some basic facts that should be known about these first-generation humbucking pickups. First PAF pickups came about in 1956 on Gibson steel guitar models, and on 1957 on many Gibson spanish guitar models, and lasted to about 1962 to 1965. Nickel plated part models transitioned away from PAF pickups first around 1962, since these guitars were sold in greater numbers. Gold plated part guitars can often be found with PAFs (or one PAF and one Patent# pickup) as late as 1965. PAF pickups of course have two internal coil bobbins under a 1.5" x 2.75" metal cover with one bobbin having a row of six adjustable slot-head poles, and the other bobbin being non-adjustable. PAF History. I guess we should start with a little history of the Gibson PAF pickup. By the mid- 1950s, Gibson wanted to counter the latest electric guitars introduced by Fender. Leo Fender had built a company that was a sizable competitor in the solid-body guitar market place. Gibson believed they could beat Fender with their high quality Les Paul, and by developing a low-noise pickup.

GEORGE BEAUCHAMP AND THE RISE OF THE ELECTRIC GUITAR UP TO 1939 Matthew William Hill PhD The University of Edinburgh 2013 Declaration I declare that this thesis is entirely my own work. Matthew William Hill ABSTRACT This thesis examines the rise of the electric guitar in the United States – arguably the most iconic and successful musical instrument of the 20th century – and the role of George Beauchamp in its invention and development. It focuses on Beauchamp's invention of the electromagnetic pickup, which is the component that makes an electric guitar an electric guitar. The research is based on examination of surviving instruments as well as archival research. An extensive contextual background is given regarding the historical development of electrical musical instruments in general and electric and electrified stringed instruments in particular.

Jump bands, electric blues and country, rockabilly, pop, and, later, soul, funk, rhythm and blues (“R&B”), and fusion, all were cen- tered in many ways around the distinctive, constantly evolving sound of the electric guitar. Add in the electric bass, which operated with an amplifica- tion model similar to that of the electric guitar, and these two new instru- ments created the tonal and stylistic
