Duncan 59 neck with short legs?

[IMENATOR]

I orderded the SH-1n Duncan 59 neck with 4 counductors but to my surprise it has long legs. I am affraid I wont be able to install it in a guitar with direct mount, still I can use it in a Superstrat with a pickguard.

Is there an SH-1n Duncan 59 neck with 4 counductors AND short legs?

it needs to be ordered that way, but they are out there

I converted mine with one of these.

Default for 59 is long legs, because that's what they were ...wait for it ...in '59. You could also find a neck model that was pulled from a Jackson or Charvel.

 

[Mincer]

Yeah, default is long legs. You can order them with short legs, though, and some OEM ones out there have short legs. Maybe a baseplate transplant?

Just buy a short leg baseplate and change it yourself. Easy peasy.

Like I suggested in post 3 with link to the exact product.

Well, it is a 4 counductor wiring which is... wait for it... not 59 spec.

Thanks, I will check if they ship to my country

I'm selling one on Ebay right now. 60 bucks, practically new.

Strange, I reache them and they say it won't fit a Ducan 59 neck

A short leg Jackson/Charvel pull should be a 4-cond. I believe those, or certain models, had coil split on both bridge/neck.

Correct, but I guess those are OEM builds.

I didn't consult anyone. I just did it. And it worked. It's in my PRS SE now.

As far as humbucker pickups go, there is nothing unusual about the size or shape of a 59. You must have misunderstood what he was saying. Those (or any other humbucker baseplates) will fit as long as you have the correct pole spacing.
