JB Model SH-4, Bridge

JB Model SH-4, Bridge

The Hot Vintage style humbucker that Seymour first made for Jeff Beck years ago. This pickup offers a wonderful balance between sweet humbucking tone and high sustain raw rock & roll. Cleans up nicely when you roll off the volume control, and "comes out swinging" when cranked up. This pickup makes an excellent choice for the bridge position when you are looking for more output than the 59 or Seth Lover, while still retaining a vintage character. Comes with 4-conductor cable.

Jazz Model SH-2 Humbucker

Jazz Model SH-2 Humbucker

This pickup has a somewhat brighter tone with slightly less output. In the neck position this pickup makes a perfect accompaniment to any of the bridge position humbuckers that we sell. Recommended for the player seeking a slightly cleaner tone in the neck position. Excellent for blues, jazz, country, rock, you name it. A Jazz model in the neck, and a JB in the bridge is Seymour's personal favorite combination. Comes with 4-conductor cable.

Pearly Gates model SH-PG1

Pearly Gates model SH-PG1

The original custom Pearly Gates pickups were wound for the famous '59 Les Paul® Standard that defined the raw, rebellious sound of Texas blues rock. Essentially a variation on the Patent Applied For sound, the Pearly Gates sound is sweet, but slightly rude, with great sustain and a bright top that make harmonics jump out of the guitar.

Seth Lover SH-55 Humbucker

Seth Lover SH-55 Humbucker

Designed jointly by Seymour and humbucker inventor Seth Lover. Just like the original 1955 PAFs, the SH-55 Seth Lover utilizes a nickel silver bottom plate, butyrate plastic bobbins, plain enamel wire, an Alnico II bar magnet, a wooden spacer, and black paper tape. The SH-55 uses a nickel silver cover instead of brass, as brass magnetically eliminates too much of the pickup's natural high-end tone. To be completely true to the original design and tone, the pickup is not wax potted. The tone is very warm, thick, vintage P.A.F. Each pickup bears the signatures of Seth Lover and Seymour Duncan and is individually numbered. Comes with single conductor shielded cable.
Includes black pickup ring in addition to mounting hardware. 4 conductor wiring also available.

Seymour Duncan Dimebucker model SH-13, Bridge

Seymour Duncan Dimebucker model SH-13 Bridge

If you've followed Pantera's rise to the top of the metal heap, then you're already well aware of the searing, crushing, metal massacre that is Dimebag Darrell's signature guitar tone. Now, that tone is yours with the SH-13 Dimebucker. The Dimebucker uses a powerful ceramic magnet coupled with stainless steel blades for boot kickin' attitude. The secret to the Dimebucker's hard-hitting crunch is the small amount of metal mass in the core of the pickup. This allows the SH-13 to have both high d.c. resistance and a high resonant peak. The result is a high-output, aggressive humbucker with lots of treble bite and clarity, as well as punchy bass response and exceptional dynamics. The Dimebucker is perfect for heavy rock and metal, and it rocks equally hard with tube and solid-state amps.

Seymour Duncan Phat Cat

Seymour Duncan Phat Cat

Originally developed in the Custom Shop for Hamer® Guitars, a Phat Cat is an actual single-coil P-90 Soapbar that fits under a humbucker cover and drops into humbucker-equipped guitars. The tone is big and fat, er, phat. It uses two Alnico 2 magnets for more sustain and softer attack. Also, the metal covers provide more shielding and noise reduction than standard soapbar covers. Comes with single-conductor hookup cable. Pickup ring included.

Alnico II Pro Humbucker

Alnico II Pro Humbucker

Warm, moderate-output humbucker. Great for jazz, blues, classic rock and slide.
The Alnico 2 magnet and moderate windings yield a warm, sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain. Classic rock players who get their distortion from the amp rather than the pickup love the APH-1. It allows them to back off the crunch and get beautiful clean tones with softer attack. Compared to the '59, the Alnico II Pro has a rounder sound with a spongier bass response. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable and no logo.
Often the APH-1 is used in both neck and bridge positions. Or, in the neck with a higher output pickup like an SH-11 Custom Custom or SHPG-1b Pearly Gates for heavier rock or hotter blues sounds from the bridge position.
For brighter toned instruments. Works especially well with maple and ebony fingerboards. Also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.
