Seymour Duncan SH-4/SH-2n Hot Rodded Set, Nickel Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-4/SH-2n Hot Rodded Set, Nickel Pickup

This matched pair delivers articulate, high-output performance with a refined tonal character engineered to capture aggressive bridge clarity and warm neck response in any recording scenario. The nickel silver bottom plate construction combined with Alnico 5 magnets creates a snappy, responsive character under the pick while maintaining definition across the frequency spectrum. Built for producers and engineers tracking guitar who demand both cut and musicality from their pickup set.

Tonal Character & Frequency Response for Recording

The SH-4 bridge pickup sits at 16.4 kΩ DC resistance with a 5.5 kHz resonant peak, yielding focused mids and controlled high-end snap that cuts through dense mixes and delivers transparent lead definition on tape. The SH-2n neck pickup operates at 7.72 kΩ with an 8 kHz peak, providing warm, singing tone for tracking rhythm layers and lead lines without excessive output clash between positions during session switching.

Construction & Wiring Flexibility for Studio Sessions

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, each pickup is vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback and squeal during high-gain tracking and overdubs. The included 4-conductor lead wire opens multiple series/parallel wiring configurations, allowing you to tailor impedance matching to your guitar's circuit and interface setup for optimal tracking results.
