Seymour Duncan SH-4/SH-2n Hot Rodded Set, Red/Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-4/SH-2n Hot Rodded Set, Red/Black Pickup

This matched pair puts the aggressive output and clarity of the SH-4 JB bridge pickup together with the articulate, balanced response of the SH-2n Jazz Model neck pickup. The combination balances high-output punch with definition across the frequency spectrum, cutting through live situations with authority while staying tight enough for studio tracking or rehearsal room reliability.

Tonal Character & Performance

The SH-4 bridge produces a 16.4 kΩ DC resistance with a 5.5 kHz resonant peak and EQ curve of 5/6/8 (Bass/Mid/Treble), delivering aggressive midrange articulation and controlled presence peak that sits well in a band mix. The SH-2n neck offers a warmer, more refined voice with 7.72 kΩ resistance, a 8 kHz resonant peak, and 5/3/9 EQ balance, providing smooth lead tones and defined clean playing that won't disappear in the mix.

Construction & Wiring

Both pickups feature Alnico 5 magnets and are wax potted to eliminate microphonic squeal and feedback—essential for stage reliability and feedback-free operation. The set ships with 4-conductor wiring on both the bridge and neck models, enabling series/parallel switching and other wiring configurations on compatible instruments. Hand-built in the Santa Barbara, CA factory, each pickup meets Seymour Duncan's precision manufacturing standards for consistent performance night after night.
