Seymour Duncan SH-6n Duncan Dstrn Black Cover Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-6N Duncan Distortion Black Cover Neck Pickup

The SH-6N delivers aggressive, high-output character with articulate note definition—essential for neck positions that need to cut through on stage without losing clarity at saturated gain levels. This humbucker pairs a ceramic bar magnet with nickel-silver construction to produce a pickup that sits solid in dense live mixes while maintaining string-to-string balance across the fretboard.

Tone & Output Character

A 12.7 kΩ DC resistance and 6.5 kHz resonant peak give the SH-6N a midrange-forward signature with punchy articulation. The EQ profile—5 bass, 8 mid, 9 treble—emphasizes presence and definition, making it equally effective for driven rhythms and lead work without sacrificing clarity through a PA or amp.

Construction & Reliability

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA and vacuum wax potted for noise rejection, this pickup resists microphonic feedback and delivers consistent performance in any venue or environment. The four-conductor lead wire accommodates coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring modifications if desired.
