Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Zebra Pickup

The SH-2n Jazz Model delivers a warm, articulate voice with controlled output that responds beautifully to pick dynamics and finger nuance. This neck-position humbucker excels at capturing definition without harshness, making it the choice for players who demand clarity in jazz, fusion, and clean-toned rock contexts. The zebra bobbin finish pairs classic Seymour Duncan craftsmanship with understated visual appeal.

Tone & Output Character

The 7.5K ohms DC resistance and Alnico 5 bar magnet create a balanced, moderate-output voice that stays articulate even when paired with bright bridge pickups. This configuration emphasizes midrange definition and touch sensitivity, allowing the pickup to respond to subtle playing dynamics without blooming into feedback-prone territory—essential for gigs where your neck tone needs to cut through without disappearing.

Construction & Materials

Hand-built in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara Custom Shop, this pickup employs a nickel silver baseplate and vacuum wax potting for noise reduction and structural stability. The 4-conductor lead wire provides wiring flexibility for coil-splitting or series/parallel switching if your guitar's electronics support those options.
