Seymour Duncan SH-14 Custom 5 White Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-14 Custom 5 White Pickup

The SH-14 Custom 5 captures articulate, controlled aggression in the bridge position while maintaining clarity across your mix. Its moderate output and balanced midrange response track cleanly through tube amps and high-gain chains alike, translating accurately to your mix bus. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup engineers clarity into every frequency for recording sessions that demand both punch and definition.

Recording Tone & Output Character

At 14.1 ohms DC resistance, the SH-14 prints punchy, defined attack with natural compression that responds to pick dynamics and playing dynamics alike. The Alnico 5 bar magnet delivers crisp highs and warm lows with excellent note separation—essential for tracking single-note riffs and voicing chords without frequency masking in dense arrangements.

Construction & Session Flexibility

Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, critical for capturing clean takes during high-gain sessions. The nickel silver bottom plate enhances tonal clarity in the recorded signal, while the four-conductor shielded lead wire supports series, parallel, and split-coil wiring for adapting your rig to different session requirements.
