Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Raw Nickel Bdr TShell Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Raw Nickel over Tortoiseshell Pickup

The SH-2n Jazz Model delivers smooth, articulate midrange response with controlled output—a measured humbucker designed for players seeking clarity over aggression. This neck position specialist excels at clean tones and crunchy rhythm work without the muddiness that plagues darker pickups. The Raw Nickel over Tortoiseshell finish combines classic aesthetics with proven Seymour Duncan engineering.

Design & Construction

Built by hand in the Santa Barbara, CA factory, this pickup uses an Alnico 5 bar magnet paired with a nickel silver bottom plate for focused magnetic field interaction. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring stable performance through rehearsals, studio sessions, and live gigs without unwanted noise.

Tonal & Electrical Performance

The 7.24k Ohm DC resistance sits in the moderate-output range, preserving dynamic articulation and touch sensitivity while maintaining sustain through a full set. The 4-conductor lead wire opens up flexible wiring options, including series, parallel, and split configurations so you can dial in your exact sonic sweet spot.
