Frequently asked questions
Are there any tonal differences between Reverse Zebra and White finishes?
No. Both use the same hand-built construction, 11.5k Ω resistance, 5.95 kHz resonant peak, Alnico 5 magnet, and nickel silver bottom plate. The finish is purely cosmetic.
Which genres suit this pickup best?
The SH-16 excels in blues, rock, hard rock, and metal. Its medium output, balanced midrange, and natural breakup make it versatile across both clean and high-gain contexts. It is not ideal for jazz or folk.
Can I use custom wiring with either version?
Yes. Both pickups feature a 4-conductor lead wire that supports series, parallel, and split-coil configurations for flexible switching schemes.
Is feedback an issue with this pickup at high volumes?
No. Both versions use vacuum wax potting to eliminate microphonic feedback, making them stable and clean even at performance volumes.
