Frequently asked questions
Can I use the SH-10B on a standard 6-string guitar?
The SH-10B is engineered specifically for 7-string extended-range guitars. While it may physically fit a 6-string, it is not designed or recommended for that application. Use the SH-4 JB for standard 6-string guitars.
Which pickup has higher output?
The SH-4 JB is high-output, while the SH-10B Full Shred is medium-output. The JB delivers more overall volume and sustain; the SH-10B trades some output for tighter low-end control and reduced feedback on 7-strings.
Are these pickups good for heavy music?
Both work for heavy music, but differently. The SH-4 JB excels in blues-based and traditional heavy rock and metal. The SH-10B is specifically tuned for modern metal, djent, and progressive styles with its scooped midrange and tight low end.
Do both come with 4-conductor wiring?
Yes. Both the SH-4 JB and SH-10B Full Shred include 4-conductor lead wire, allowing flexible wiring options including coil-split and phase-reverse configurations.
