Description
Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Raw Nickel Rad Gold Mesh Pickup
The SH-2n Jazz is a warm, articulate neck humbucker built for players who need clarity without harshness—especially under stage lights and through a full band mix. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup delivers smooth, controlled output that stays responsive across all playing dynamics, whether you're digging in hard or laying back in the pocket.
Tone & Design
The Alnico 5 magnet paired with a 7.50k DC resistance creates a balanced, mid-focused character that cuts through without muddiness and sustains cleanly through your leads. Vacuum wax potting keeps everything stable on the road and eliminates microphonic feedback—critical for gigging musicians who can't afford noise in a quiet ballad or unplugged set.
Construction & Specifications
Built with a nickel silver bottom plate and 4-conductor shielded lead wire, the SH-2n supports both standard wiring and coil-splitting mods for players looking to expand their palette. The raw nickel finish with gold mesh cover provides visual clarity and excellent shielding performance for hum-free operation in any venue.
