Seymour Duncan SH-14 Custom 5 Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-14 Custom 5 Zebra Pickup

The SH-14 Custom 5 delivers aggressive, articulate bridge-position response with tight low-end definition and punchy midrange presence. This pickup excels in high-gain contexts where clarity and note separation matter, making it a solid choice for modern rock, metal, and fusion rigs that demand output without sacrificing definition.

Tone & Output Character

The 14.10 DCR positions this as a hot bridge humbucker with substantial output and midrange focus. The Alnico 5 bar magnet core delivers responsive, articulate tone with natural compression and strong sustain, cutting through a mix on stage for both lead work and aggressive rhythm playing.

Construction & Live Reliability

Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring stable performance in high-volume live settings. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA using a nickel silver bottom plate and 4-conductor lead wire for flexible wiring configurations, this pickup is engineered for durability and tonal versatility through touring and repeated gigging.
