Seymour Duncan SH-11 Custom Custom Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-11 Custom Custom Black Pickup

The SH-11 Custom Custom captures punchy, articulate tones with exceptional clarity across the frequency spectrum. This bridge-position pickup strikes a balance between aggressive sustain and note definition, translating to recordings that cut through dense mixes without losing harmonic detail. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, it's engineered for producers tracking everything from high-gain riffs to moderate-gain textures while maintaining responsive dynamics and precise note separation in the mix.

Tone & Output Character

Rated at 14.4k ohms output, the SH-11 sits in the medium-hot range—muscular enough to drive your amp's front end and capture thick, defined tones on tape without the compressed character of ultra-hot designs. The Alnico II bar magnet delivers a naturally musical response with smooth top-end articulation and present midrange, capturing both lead clarity and heavy rhythm weight in your sessions.

Construction & Design

This pickup employs vacuum wax potting to eliminate unwanted microphonics and maintain tonal consistency across multiple takes and extended session work. The nickel silver bottom plate contributes to the overall tonal character while offering superior durability, and the 4-conductor lead wire enables multiple wiring configurations for coil-splitting and series/parallel switching—expanding your sonic palette without hardware changes.
