Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Raw Nickel Rad Gold Mesh Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Raw Nickel Rad Gold Mesh Pickup

The SH-2n Jazz is a warm, articulate neck humbucker that captures clarity without harshness, making it essential for tracking and overdubbing across jazz, fusion, and vintage-voiced sessions. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup delivers smooth, controlled output that responds transparently across all playing dynamics—critical for layering parts and maintaining definition in dense mixes.

Tone & Design

The Alnico 5 magnet paired with a 7.50k DC resistance creates a balanced, mid-focused character that emphasizes note definition and sustain—qualities that translate beautifully during recording and sit cleanly in the mix without requiring excessive EQ intervention. Vacuum wax potting ensures rock-solid stability and eliminates microphonic feedback, critical for capturing clean takes in the studio and maintaining consistency across multiple takes and sessions.

Construction & Specifications

Built with a nickel silver bottom plate and 4-conductor shielded lead wire, the SH-2n accommodates both standard wiring and coil-splitting applications for session flexibility and tonal exploration. The raw nickel finish with gold mesh cover provides both visual clarity and excellent shielding performance, reducing noise during recording and post-production workflows.
