Frequently Asked Questions
The SH-2N has a lower output than a typical single-coil, but the Alnico 5 magnet provides a richer, fuller tone with more sustain.
It’s likely to be fine, but you might experience a slight adjustment needed for string balance. A minor filing of the pickup ring might be necessary for optimal string alignment.
Absolutely. The 4-wire configuration allows for a more authentic, balanced single-coil sound when split, avoiding the 'microphonic' qualities sometimes found with older designs.
