The SH-1B4C Zebra is a seriously well-done recreation of a classic PAF humbucker. It's got that warm, creamy tone with plenty of bite, and the 4-conductor wiring gives you the option to split the coils for a more versatile sound. This is a great choice for players chasing vintage tones in a Les Paul or similar guitar.
