This SH-6N 4C Zebra is a powerhouse for rock and metal players needing serious drive. The ceramic magnets provide a thick, saturated tone that cuts through the mix, while the 4-wire design gives you some tonal flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 4C version adds 4-wire capability for true coil splitting, offering more tonal versatility than the original SH-6 which lacks this feature.
While usable, the SH-6N 4C’s high output is best suited for driven amps; a clean amp might sound muddy or overly compressed.
Primarily aesthetic, but the thinner Zebra bobbin can subtly improve high-frequency clarity compared to a traditional flanged bobbin.
