Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Black Cover Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Black Cover Pickup

The SH-2n Jazz Model is a neck pickup built for players who demand clarity and smooth note definition without sacrificing warmth. Its controlled output and refined character make it ideal for lead work and rhythm tones where articulation matters—pairing seamlessly with bridge pickups across the Seymour Duncan range while maintaining excellent string separation even under higher gain, making it reliable for live stages and studio sessions alike.

Tone & Output Character

Built on an Alnico 5 bar magnet with a measured DC resistance of 7.24k Ohm, the SH-2n produces a balanced, slightly warm response with reduced treble harshness compared to hotter designs. The vacuum wax potting controls feedback and microphonics, yielding a stable, articulate voice suited to both clean and overdriven playing across jazz, blues, and classic rock applications.

Construction & Wiring

Handbuilt at the Seymour Duncan factory in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup features a nickel silver bottom plate and ships with a four-conductor lead wire for full coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring flexibility. The black cover (available in nickel or gold-plated finishes) houses the coil and integrates seamlessly into most humbucker-routed instruments.
