Seymour Duncan SH-4/SH-2n Set, Raw Nickel Cover Pickup vs Seymour Duncan SH-4/SH-2n Set, Toxic Yellow Pickup
Both sets share identical electrical specs and construction, but differ fundamentally in pickup placement: the Raw Nickel has the aggressive SH-4 in the bridge and articulate SH-2n in the neck, while Toxic Yellow reverses this with SH-4 in the neck and SH-2n in the bridge. Raw Nickel suits players prioritizing cutting lead tones and tight rhythm aggression; Toxic Yellow is designed for those wanting a thicker, more vocal rhythm foundation with controlled low end.

Frequently asked questions
What's the actual difference between these two sets?
The pickup positions are reversed. Raw Nickel places the high-output SH-4 in the bridge for maximum aggression, while Toxic Yellow places it in the neck for a thicker lead tone. Both have identical electrical specs (16.4 kΩ bridge, 7.72 kΩ neck, same resonant peaks), so the difference is purely in playing position and resulting tonal character.
Which is better for metal?
Raw Nickel is more traditionally aligned with metal, as its bridge-position SH-4 delivers the punchy mids and cutting treble that cut through dense, aggressive mixes. Toxic Yellow works for metal but leans slightly more toward rock and blues due to its emphasis on neck-position warmth and midrange vocality.
Can I use coil-splitting with either set?
Yes, both sets include 4-conductor wiring on each pickup, enabling series, parallel, or split-coil configurations for expanded sonic options.
Are these hand-built and potted?
Both sets are hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA and vacuum wax potted for squeal-free operation. Both use Alnico 5 bar magnets and nickel silver bottom plates for consistent performance and clarity.
