Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Humbucker Bridge 7-String Black Guitar Pickup

General

The SH-4 JB has been the standard among high-output humbuckers for over 35 years. Named after Jeff Beck, for whom it was originally designed, this element delivers that typical classic hot-rodded sound. The SH-4 produces high output while maintaining a clear and sparkling high. It also adds the right amount of overtones, sustain and distortion to your guitar sound. It goes from warm and sweet bluesy tones to raw heavy metal with ease. This 7-String version is especially for modifying your 7-string electric guitar.

Sound and application of the Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB

The Seymour Duncan JB is recommended for the bridge position and is often combined with a vintage-output neck element like the SH-2n Jazz or the SH-1 '59 humbucker for those classic humbucker sounds. 7-string versions are also available for this. Compared to the SH-14 Custom 5, the SH-4 JB possesses a stronger treble response. To keep the treble somewhat in check, guitarists often use a 250K volume potentiometer. Therefore, the SH-4 7-String works excellently with warm-sounding seven-string guitars.
