Description
Seymour Duncan SH-11 Custom Custom White Pickup
The SH-11 Custom Custom captures aggressive, high-output character with articulate note definition across the fretboard. This humbucker excels in recording rock, metal, and hard-hitting genres where clarity and sustain cut through dense arrangements. The white cover finish maintains classic aesthetics while the passive design integrates seamlessly into any stock or modified guitar electronics during tracking and overdubs.
Tonal Character & Recording Clarity
With a 14.10k Ohm DC resistance and Alnico 2 magnets, this pickup balances raw power with controlled midrange presence for professional-sounding recordings. The 5.2 KHz resonant peak emphasizes articulation in the upper midrange, cutting through high-gain tones in the mix without introducing muddiness, while the EQ profile (3 Bass / 7 Midrange / 7 Treble) prioritizes clarity and bite—ideal for layered productions where definition matters.
Specifications & Construction
Built in the United States with four-conductor wiring for maximum configuration flexibility across session needs, this pickup accommodates standard 6-string guitars. The passive design requires no batteries or active circuitry, ensuring straightforward installation and reliable performance through long tracking sessions and in any studio environment.
