Using a completely balanced coil configuration to provide the player with exceptional harmonics and a high output with a tasteful blend of sustain and distortion, the SH-4 delivers every time. You receive the best of both worlds,from crunchy, raw rock-and-roll grit to much warmer, sensitive tones for the more mellow player.

Here’s what Seymour Duncan say about the SH-4 JB Humbucker Pickup in Nickel:

Application
The archetype hot-rodded humbucker for over 35 years. Great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal.

Description
The world’s most popular humbucker. Provides slammin’ output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and just the right blend of sustain and distortion. Goes from sweet warm tones to raw rock ‘n’ roll. Compared to the SH-14 Custom 5, the JB has a stronger treble detail. Some players use it with 250K pots to smooth out the highs. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable.

Complete Setup
Recommended for bridge position. Often a JB is paired with a neck pickup like the SH-2n Jazz (Seymour’s favorite) for versatility or a SH-1 ’59 for P.A.F. tones.

Guitars
For balanced and warm instruments. Works especially well with rosewood fingerboards.

Available Mods
Nickel or gold-plated cover. Trembucker. 7-string version. Available in matched set of SH-4 JB Model bridge and SH-2n Jazz Model neck.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.
