Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded Humbucker Pickup Set with JB and Jazz SH-4 SH-2n Nickel

The SH-4 JB is a hot-rodded humbucker that has been the archetype for over 30 years. With its slammin' output and singing highs, it is great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal. This humbucker is known as the world's most popular, providing aggressive harmonics, sustain, and distortion. It can go from sweet warm tones to raw rock 'n' roll and is especially popular with players like Paul Stanley from KISS, Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Dave Mustaine from Megadeth.

In comparison, the SH-2n Jazz is a classic moderate output humbucker that is especially popular in the neck position. Despite its name, it is not only great for jazz, but also country, blues, funk, classic rock, and heavy rock. It provides an articulate and clear tone, making it great for fast runs and a good match with most bridge pickups. This humbucker is known for its smooth sustain and slightly less output compared to the SH-1 '59 Model. It is particularly popular with players like Jerry Horton from Papa Roach, Dave Mustaine from Megadeth, and Doug Pettibone from Lucinda Williams.

Both humbuckers come with four-conductor hookup cables and are suitable for balanced and warm instruments, especially those with rosewood fingerboards. The SH-4 JB is recommended for guitars with balanced and warm instruments, while the SH-2n Jazz is suitable for mahogany bodies and also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars. Some players even use the SH-4 JB with 250K pots to smooth out the highs.

In summary, the SH-4 JB and SH-2n Jazz are both versatile humbuckers that cater to a wide range of musical styles and instruments, making them popular choices for many well-known players in the music industry.
