Seymour Duncan SH2 Jazz Model Humbucker Pickup (Neck, Black) Review

I did some research before buying 2 new humbuckers for my Ibanez S470 and came to the conclusion that the dynamic duo of Seymour Duncan's SH-2 and SH-4 were for me. I found the 2 sold together as a combo pack for a great deal at $110, when otherwise they're $70-$75 each. So I was happy I got what I wanted for much less than I was prepared to pay but enough about that.

I gathered from the Seymour Duncan website that these 2 pickups are his favorite combination as they allow for the widest range and diversity for sound and playing style. The site also lets you see which famous musicians are using their pickups as well and it turned out that most of the rockers and metalheads listed had these 2 in their arsenal. That helped since I play mostly hard rock and metal.The day I had them installed I actually found myself playing with the SH-2 for the majority of the time because it just sounded so good. Everything was crystal clear and bright. It provides a very warm and full sound that actually sounds like your using a different guitar altogether. Chords and picking sound distinguished at all volumes. It's leaps and bounds beyond the stock neck pickup which sounded too dull and weak to keep my attention. It really gave me a renewed interest in alternate playing styles with clean sounds. I understand now why S.D. likes this combination so much as the SH-2 and SH-4 can work really well together when blended with the channel switch.

This a really nice sounding pickup that'll be a big improvement over a stock one or an upgrade for those looking for a great clean sound. Whether it be for jazz, clean rhythms, fast and slow playing styles, this is an excellent pickup that you should pick up.
