The SH-1 B NCOV 4C is a seriously classy pickup, aiming for that authentic vintage PAF vibe. It’s not a shredder, but if you’re chasing a warm, articulate tone for blues, classic rock, or even jazz, this is a fantastic choice. The 4-conductor wiring gives you extra flexibility too.
Product Description
Seymour Duncan SSH-1 B NCOV 4C, Guitar Pickup
There is not much left to say about the Seymour Duncan SH1. It is one of the most popular replacement pickups; especially when it is desired to replicate the well balanced sound of the the legendary PAF humbuckers of Seth Lover (the name is due to the bottom sticker "patent applied for"). For many guitarists this pickup is still the best, no screamer, it is way too classy to be that, ​​but it can sing like no other pickup. Particularly finicky musical gourmets attest SH1 even a touch more authenticity compared to several competitors - but clarification to that question could probably only be found by means of an AB comparison (which is very complex with pickups) and even then, certain judgments remain simply a matter of taste. In any case, a hot tip!
The SH 1 B4C is particularly suitable for the bridge position; combined with a hotter bridge pickup, it is also a good choice for the neck position!
