Jazz Model - Neck - Black - Electric Guitar Pickup

I'll admit, I am more of a Fender guy but always wanted a Les Paul. I found a cheap Epi and decided to gut it and rebuild. I put this pickup in the neck and I am so impressed. It was had to adjust to the warm sounds of this humbucker compared to the Fender clean sound I was used to, but wonderful tones are plentiful. I love to roll the volume back just a hair and it really sounds great. Not only that, but if you add a little gain it can give you a fantastic gritty blues tone all the way to 70s rock distortion. It's not gonna do metal but I was surprised how versatile the pickup is. I paired it with a SD SH5 and I can get any sound I need out of this guitar. Quality pickups can be ridiculously priced these days so paying $100 for this pickup is an amazing value.

i paired this one with a bridge’s JB model (to complete the Hot Rodded set) on my epiphone lp standard. they now sound amazing, round and warm, very powerful with the gain on, and with a sweet sustain.

Great sound. Really changed the whole sound of my guitar. Can’t go wrong with these pickups

I used this to upgrade the pickup in a Goldtone Electric Banjo, which is a very odd use, I have to admit. This is a very clear, articulate pickup and it improved the "depth" of the tone on the banjo (yeah, banjos aren't known for depth of tone, this pickup really helped). Seymour Duncan calls this a "jazz" pickup, which isn't really right, it's a general-purpose, very clear, very articulate pickup. A "rounder" sounding pickup would actually be better if you want that classic jazz guitar sound.

It’s a great pickup for the neck position.

After doing my research and hearing all the hype about this pickup, I finally purchased one of these about a year ago. I put it in an alder Telecaster body that was finished with just hand rubbed poly. I had all the good electronics in it: CTS pots, a CRL switch, vintage cloth wire. I got it all wired in. I set it up, plugged it in and... I found it sterile and lifeless. Very clean, very well made, but I just really did not hear any character. I initially had it paired with an STK-T3B. I tried pairing it with a Little 59 Tele bridge pickup. It certainly helped because of the presence of the mids in the Little 59, but I still just sort of felt meh about the pickup. I tried a few other things - I also put it in an old Squier Tele Thinline with the Gibson scale neck and it still just was not the pickup for me. I was getting ready to sell the pickup when I decided to take an old Squier Classic Vibe Tele Thinline body (semi hollow) I had and convert it from single coils to humbuckers. I covered the SH-2N with a nickel cover (no wax) and placed it into the neck position. I complimented it with a nickel covered SH-4B (JB) in the bridge position. I do have a conversion neck on the guitar - it's the Gibson 24-3/4" scale as opposed to Fender's 25.5". I have to tell you - this has become my main guitar. I cannot put this thing down it sounds so nice. I really like both the neck only position and the middle position on the selector switch that combines the Jazz/JB. I think this thing just gets an awesome sound now. I play a lot of older jazz standards arranged for chord/melody and this setup REALLY does the trick. It's great all around: clarity in the highs (but not too bright), nice definition in the lows, and those gorgeous, gorgeous mids are now present again. I don't think the SH-2N will work for every guitar, but when you get the right combination of factors involved, this pickup is just divine =)

I purchased this to replace a non-working EMG pickup at the neck position of an ESP guitar where I did not want to install active pickups. It had a good tone by itself and also meshed well with the EMG bridge pickup. I can now use this guitar in some live shows. Installation was simple. A far improvement over the cleaner tones of the EMG pickup (before it stopped working).

Replaced the stock INF3 in an Ibanez RG4EXQM1, and it seems to be an improvement. Better/extended top end and clarity. Output might be a bit stronger, but I'll get that evened out once I have everything else settled. 4-wire allows coil-tapping, which the Ibanez switch uses in positions 2 and 4, in conjunction with the middle single-coil. EDIT: I ended up swapping this for a Dimarzio Gravity Storm neck - the new pickup isn't as bass-heavy and has more overall clarity, which is something I wanted.

As a die hard dimarzio user for 25yrs I decided to change to Seymour Duncan and I’m so glad. This pickup has a lovely tone and rich full sound to it and splits lovely with the single coil stk-s6 (sustom stack plus) . Just lots of richness and depth of tone.

Tengo esta pastilla, con una Invader SH8 en el puente, y la combinación es hermosa, además añadí una configuración push/pull y le saco el doble de jugo a este juego, juntas se puede tocar desde Grunge/Rock/Metal hasta mismo Jazz con ligeros tintes de Drive. Te gusta la Bossa Nova? Está configuración mixta te va a gustar. De por sí la Jazz es perfecta por si sola.

Are they expensive, yes, do they make any difference, YES, for my Les Paul anyway, I've tried so many different neck humbuckers, from the budget budget ones to some custom shop masterbuild, and I've never really got on with other Seymour Duncans that I've tried, so I don't really know what made me buy this, but honestly, this in my guitar is the dog's dangly bits, I honestly couldn't be happier.

Montada en una strato con dos ssl1, combina la pegada de una humbucker, con el brillo y claridad de una single. Sirve para todo, desde jazz hasta heavy. Se divide muy bien, y combinada con la pastilla del mastil, simplemente genial. Gran pastilla

Montato non appena arrivato al manico di una copia Les Paul. Rispetto a quello che avevo (wilkinson) e super pulito, espressivo, caldo e pieno. Abbinato a Jb hs4 al ponte risulta molto apprezzabile trasformando la chitarra in un strumento molto versatile.
