FYI: A Distortion neck coil mates beautifully with a 59 coil to make a killer hybrid. (Use the A5 mag from the 59.) This and a 59 would make two great hybrids.

You know . . . until you asked that question, I've never just switched back and forth between the two before. The difference is more subtle than I thought. The 59 has a slight mid-hump, whereas the 59/DD hybrid tends to flatten out the frequency response. Perhaps with a slight high-end roll-off. I'd almost say the hybrid has a bit less "honk". Its really not a night & day difference.
