Description
Seymour Duncan Humbucker SH-10N Full Shred Neck Pickup 7 Strings
The SH-10N Full Shred delivers a balanced, articulate voice in the neck position of extended-range instruments. Built for seven-string guitars, this pickup combines clarity with enough body to cut through dense tunings without losing definition. The medium output and symmetrical coil design make it equally effective for both rhythmic precision and fluid lead work.
Tone & Output Character
This pickup's 8.5K DCR and medium output provide a responsive, controlled response that preserves note separation across all seven strings. The Alnico 5 bar magnet and 2 symmetrical coils with short Allen head pole pieces work together to deliver balanced treble and midrange articulation, ideal for neck position work where clarity matters.
Build Quality & Wiring Options
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal for stable, noise-free operation in high-gain settings. The 4-conductor lead wire accommodates split-coil, series, parallel, and phase-reverse wiring configurations, giving you flexibility in how you voice this pickup within your instrument's electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SH-10N a good fit for seven-string playing, and how does it handle low tunings?
Yes—the SH-10N is purpose-built for seven-string instruments and handles extended tunings with balanced clarity. Its medium output and tight note separation keep low strings defined without loss of articulation, making it well-suited for metal and progressive styles where precision matters in neck position work.
What wiring options does this pickup support?
The 4-conductor lead wire accommodates split-coil, series, parallel, and phase-reverse configurations, giving you flexibility to voice the pickup to match your guitar's electronics and desired tonal character.
What makes this pickup different from higher-output options?
The SH-10N's medium output (8.5K DCR) and symmetrical coil design prioritize clarity and note separation over raw volume, making it an excellent neck pickup for situations where articulation and balanced response are more important than aggressive output.
How does Seymour Duncan's vacuum wax potting benefit this pickup?
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring stable, noise-free operation in high-gain settings—essential for studio tracking and live performance where feedback can ruin takes or performances.
Is the SH-10N suitable for jazz or blues?
The SH-10N is optimized for metal, progressive, and extended-range styles; its articulate, controlled character and medium output are not ideal for the warmer, looser response typical of jazz and blues playing.
