Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model Reverse Zebra Pickup
The SH-2n Jazz Model captures a smooth, articulate response with moderate output that sits perfectly in neck position for recording and mixing. This pickup balances clarity with warmth, translating well across jazz, blues, and vintage rock tracking sessions without overwhelming a mix or losing definition when layered with other instruments. The reverse zebra coil configuration adds visual distinction while maintaining the refined tonal character Seymour Duncan built into this classic design.
Tone & Construction
Built on an Alnico 5 bar magnet with a nickel silver bottom plate, the SH-2n produces a balanced midrange response with natural compression and clarity. Vacuum wax potting ensures squeal-free operation during recording and gain staging, allowing you to track at higher levels without unwanted feedback or noise artifacts that complicate editing and mixing.
Wiring & Installation
The included 4-conductor lead wire opens up multiple wiring configurations, giving you flexibility to coil-split or series/parallel wire the pickup to shape your recorded tone during session setup. The four-conductor hookup cable makes integration straightforward for both single-pickup upgrades and full electronics overhauls in your studio rig.
