Context and Positioning

The Duncan Distortion is a classic geared towards heavy rock and metal, designed to push the amp hard while keeping tight lows and present mids. This set pairs the bridge SH-6B version (more powerful) with the neck SH-6N version (more articulate) to create a coherent duo on the same guitar.

Who This Pickup Set Is For

Ideal if you play old school metal, nu-metal, thrash, heavy rock, but also punk, garage, or gothic and want sharp riffs, punchy palm mutes, and leads that cut through the mix. The split option also lets you expand your tonal palette for clearer, snappier sounds when the song calls for it.
