Description
Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model White Pickup
The SH-2n Jazz Model is engineered as a neck position voice that captures warm, articulate midrange with controlled output—ideal for tracking sessions where clarity and tonal separation matter in the mix. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this pickup responds transparently to pick dynamics and touch, delivering smooth sustain that sits cohesively behind lead guitar tracks, rhythm parts, and layered textures without competing for frequency space.
Recording & Tone Shaping
The Alnico 5 magnet paired with a 7.50 DCR specification produces smooth, compressed response with articulate harmonic definition that translates well to both clean and driven recording chains. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and noise, ensuring silent, noise-free takes during tracking and overdubs—critical for studio sessions where hum or squeal derails otherwise usable recordings.
Studio Wiring Flexibility & Signal Path
Built with a nickel silver bottom plate that enhances clarity and harmonic detail for accurate on-tape reproduction, this neck position humbucker features a 4-conductor lead wire supporting series, parallel, and split-coil configurations. This wiring versatility lets you adapt tone across multiple song arrangements and session demands without swapping pickups. Hand-crafted construction in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara factory ensures consistent quality and predictable studio performance across multiple instruments.
