Frequently asked questions
Can I use the SH-1N in a standard 6-string guitar?
The SH-1N is configured for 7-string instruments with a 7.43 kΩ DC resistance tuned for extended range. While physically it may fit a standard humbucker slot, its voicing is optimized for 7-string tuning and may not perform as intended in 6-string applications.
Is the Antiquity 2 suitable for metal or hard rock?
The product description lists metal and djent as genres where the Antiquity 2 is not ideal. Its warm, punchy single-coil character is optimized for blues, rock, indie, and punk rather than the tight, aggressive tones metal demands.
What is the key tonal difference between these pickups?
The Antiquity 2 Myth is a single-coil with articulate punch and smooth treble, while the SH-1N '59 is a humbucker with warm vintage character, controlled output, and tight low end. Humbuckers naturally have fuller, darker tone; single-coils are brighter and more defined.
Which pickup is better for beginners?
The Antiquity 2 lists beginner as a suitable skill level, while the SH-1N starts at intermediate. If you are a beginner, the Antiquity 2 is more accessible. However, your choice also depends on what guitar you own—the SH-1N only fits 7-string instruments.
