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.

Best neck pickup I have in any guitar.
NH-69 22.03.2021
I replaced a Duncan design pickup with the SH2N. It made a huge improvement in sound and the tone is so more versatile and fits all styles I play. Some people have described this as more of a Single coil sounding pickup. That is to some extent true when rolling of the volume on the guitar. At full volume it is just a very good sounding neck humbucker pickup. Slight less bass and the pickup would have been perfect. Still the best neck pickup I have ever used.

Strictly jazz.
Peter R. 438 29.11.2015
A very jazz sound, but clean & light (depending your amp settings).

I split this p'up with a push/pull for a more clean chording & "natural as can be" sound. I am in between acoustic & electric so the transposition between is difficult, but this p'up is helping.

An hours licks & chording last night has helped me realize this p'ups potential, s'pose any splitable p'up would help, or even a single coil guitar like a telecaster, but I need a big bodied guitar like this hollow body Hofner for the comfort of sitting down to perform.

On the "tech" side, I don't know which p'up should be the single coil when I pull my vol knob. The one with screws in or the one w'out? I followed the SD instructions for the wiring and ended up on the p'up w'out the screws in.

Great universal sound

I used this pickup together with SD Pearly Gates and it works flawlessly. If wired as a single coil, it sounds like a strat, if in humbucker mode, with the tone dialed down, provides a warm jazzy tone.
