A Classic "Jazz Model" Designed for the Neck Position
The SH-2N Jazz Model is one of the most appreciated references for turning the neck position into a true expression zone: roundness, dynamics, and definition. Designed to deliver a rich sound without becoming "muddy," it highlights fingerstyle playing, complex chords, and expressive phrasing, while remaining very responsive to volume and tone adjustments.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Intended for the neck position, this pickup is perfect if you're looking for an articulate clean tone, singing crunch, and fluid leads. It suits jazz and blues guitarists as well as funk enthusiasts (clear attacks, separated notes), and more sustained rock sounds when paired with a beefier bridge pickup. On a bright guitar, it adds body; on a darker guitar, it helps maintain clarity.
Alnico V, Frequency Response, and Wiring Options
Thanks to its Alnico V magnet, the SH-2N delivers a firm and balanced response, with present but controlled highs and open mids. Its 8 kHz resonance peak contributes to a sense of precision and "useful brightness" without harshness. The pickup is passive (non-active ) and its 4-conductor wiring allows for coil splitting to achieve airier tones, ideal for crisp rhythms or detailed arpeggios.
