Frequently asked questions
Are these pickups matched as a neck-bridge set?
No. The SH-1N is a neck pickup and the SH-1B is a bridge pickup. They are designed for their respective positions and have different resistance and EQ voicings to complement each other in a 7-string setup.
What is the resistance difference and why does it matter?
The SH-1N has 7.43 kΩ resistance while the SH-1B has 7.6 kΩ resistance. The slightly higher bridge resistance helps the bridge pickup deliver cutting sustain and presence, while the neck position's lower resistance provides smoother, more controlled output for clarity.
Which pickup is better for jazz fusion on a 7-string?
The SH-1B is listed as ideal for jazz fusion due to its upper-midrange clarity and singing sustain under articulate playing. The SH-1N excels at maintaining articulate treble and definition in a neck position.
Do both pickups handle extended low-end tunings without loss of definition?
Yes. Both feature Alnico 5 magnets, vintage-correct winding, and wax potting for feedback-free operation. The SH-1N emphasizes tight lows with controlled output, while the SH-1B balances extended lows with upper-midrange clarity specifically for bridge position demands.
