SH-5 Duncan Custom
Summary
A custom overwound P.A.F.-like humbucker with moderate output, perfectly voiced for supreme blues, rock, and metal.
Description
The Duncan Custom is
a hot humbucker which uses a small ceramic magnet and custom-wound coils
to dish out a ‘P.A.F.-on-steroids’ tone. It has tight lows, a bump in
the upper midrange which gives you more character and crunch, and an
airy high end that cuts through heavy distortion but is also great for
achieving crystal-clear clean tones. It’s especially suited
to warmer-sounding guitars with a prominent midrange, and many players
like to use it in Les Pauls and Paul Reed Smiths. It pairs well with the
Jazz or ’59 neck models, and forms one half of our ’59/Custom Hybrid
humbucker.
Hand
built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the Duncan Custom uses a small
ceramic bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire
for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free
performance.

SH-2N Jazz
Summary
The Jazz Model neck is a bright, vintage-output humbucker which stays clear even under extreme distortion.
Description
Originally
designed as the matching neck pickup for the JB Model bridge pickup, the
Jazz is an incredibly versatile humbucker that will work for almost any
style of music. An Alnico 5 bar magnet and a special coil wind give it a
glassy treble response and full, tight bass, while scooped mids help
each note to sing clearly even under extreme high gain – or even more
extreme speed. It pairs especially well with the JB, Distortion, Invader
and Perpetual Burn but is a great all-purpose neck pickup for many
pickup combinations. It’s a favorite among the likes of legendary
players such as Randy Rhoads, Jeff Beck, Dave Mustaine and Alex
Skolnick.
