Technical specifications for the Seymour Duncan DA-59 humbuckers used in D’Angelico guitars

[PoppinJawn]

Hello,

I’m writing to ask whether you could provide the technical specifications for the Seymour Duncan DA-59 humbuckers used in D’Angelico guitars. I’m specifically interested in understanding how the DA-59 differs from the standard Seymour Duncan ’59 (SH-1).

If possible, could you share details such as:

• DC resistance (neck and bridge)
• Magnet type
• Wire gauge and number of turns
• Coil offset or coil balance differences
• Potting details
• Any other voicing changes made for the D’Angelico version

I appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you for your time and assistance.

There was a thread about them here, with one of the people that worked on those pickups for D'Angelico.

Thank you for the link. It would appear the SD 59s made for D'Angelico are a little hotter.

The most useful information I got from the link you shared:

'
'8.78 and 8.92 put in neck/bridge positions respectively though they aren't labelled for a position

They sound like 59's, just a bit more hair'

That's pretty hot

What are the specs on the regular SD 59s for neck and bridge?

They're on the site, my man. 8.2K for the bridge, 7.6K for the neck.

Oh brilliant...thank you for this information

Wow...D'Angelico was not fooling around when they sat down with Seymour Duncan for the specs on their 59s

D'Angelico has recently added a SD JB to the bridge of some of the DC and SS models. So that's a 59 in the neck with a JB in the bridge. Again, these are made specifically for D'Angelico.

I wonder if the JB made for D'Angelico will likewise be hotter than the one Seymour Duncan normally makes?
