Frequently Asked Questions
The SH-10B is generally considered a bit more aggressive and high-output than the JB, with a slightly tighter low-end response.
Yes, the 4-wire connection allows for coil splitting; expect a brighter, single-coil-like tone, though it will retain some of the SH-10B's character.
It can be, but be mindful of the higher output—it might accentuate any inherent feedback tendencies in a semi-hollow.
