Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model White Pickup
The SH-2n Jazz Model delivers warm, articulate midrange character with controlled output—a refined neck position humbucker built for players who need clarity and definition without sacrificing musicality. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup balances smooth sustain with responsiveness to pick dynamics and touch sensitivity, making it equally reliable in jazz, fusion, and classic rock settings where nuanced tone matters on stage.
