Seymour Duncan SH-2b Jazz Model Reverse Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-2b Jazz Model Reverse Zebra Pickup

The SH-2b Jazz Model delivers a warm, articulate character with controlled output that excels in both clean and overdriven contexts. This reverse zebra configuration pairs a nickel-silver bottom plate with vintage appeal and sonic refinement. Built for players seeking clarity without sacrificing midrange presence, the SH-2b has earned its reputation as a balanced workhorse across jazz fusion, rock, and studio settings.

Tone & Electronics

The Alnico 5 bar magnet and nickel-silver bottom plate combine to produce a smooth, focused response with excellent string definition and natural compression. The 4-conductor lead wire enables series, parallel, and split-coil wiring options, offering flexibility to shape your tone from full-bodied vintage character to articulate single-coil voicings.

Design & Build

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup is vacuum wax potted for maximum durability and feedback resistance. The reverse zebra coil configuration—nickel-silver base with cream and black windings—delivers both sonic and aesthetic distinction.
