Product Description

Seymour Duncan SH2N-4C BLK, Jazz Neck Pickup

This is the perfect pickup for guitarists who prefer a clear sound that retains and transfers all the fine details of their playing. A great companion for all things jazz. This pickup communicates the acoustic components very clearly, especially (but not only!) with semi-acoustic guitars. But the SH2 can also make an excellent combination with neck pickups with a stronger output, giving you the best of both worlds - rock and jazz in one guitar.

, Clear and articulated, Very smooth, Very warm sound, 4-Connector

It might sound a bit subdued; the SH2N-4C is designed for a more mellow tone and may get lost with a very aggressive bridge. Consider a bridge with a slightly lower output.
Absolutely, the SH2N-4C’s ability to capture acoustic nuances makes it a great choice for miking or direct recording of semi-acoustic guitars.
