Frequently Asked Questions

The SH-4 is a bit more scooped and mid-focused; this NCOV has a more aggressive upper-midrange and overall more raw, overtone-rich character.
The nickel plating dampens the high frequencies slightly, offering a warmer, more vintage-like tone compared to an uncovered pickup. It also helps reduce noise.
While it *can* be used clean, the high output and aggressive voicing aren’t ideal for a delicate jazz tone; it's better suited for higher-gain applications.
