Seymour Duncan SH-6b Distortion 8-String Humbucker Bridge Black Guitar Pickup

General

Actually, the name of this Seymour Duncan SH-6b Distortion 8-String Bridge says it all. Logically not a warm, jazzy pickup, this dual-coil element is made to bang along on your 8-string electric guitar! The high output makes this Seymour Duncan SH-6b ideally suited for harder types of music, from old school metal to modern grindcore. The 4-conductor connection also makes this flexible element suitable for coil-split switching, which also gives you access to sparkling single-coil-style guitar sounds.

SH-6b Distortion 8-String: mean in the low end, nice and bright in the high end

A large ceramic magnet, together with the specially wound overwound coil, ensures the very high output of this 8-string Seymour Duncan humbucker. However, this output does not come at the expense of the clarity of the core sound. In fact, the core sound can be characterised as mean tight in the low register and nice and bright in the higher frequencies. Of course, this makes the SH-6b 8-String extremely suitable for lower tunings as well. Besides making your harmonics stand out prominently in your flashy leads, this Duncan Distortion has you covered with the most brutal guitar riffs that are sure to always chug.
