Purchased this to replace a Bare Knuckle Mule that I had in the neck position for over a decade. Basically wanted to just try something different. Very please with the results. Sounds great!

Nato per la Gibson Les paul cambia la tua chitarra …anche una Ephiphone Les Paul può arrivicinarsi davvero al suono di una Gibson L.P. Se avete una Gibson LP che monta humbucker di livello inferiore…beh con questi (manico e ponte) siete al Top. Nota per chi lo preferisce (come me) splittabile.

Replaced neck humbucker on finite GAl bluesboy guitar. Original pickup dull, this pickup more clarity and brighter sounding. Improved guitar.

In cerca di un humbucker dal suono decisamente più "bright" rispetto ai SD 59 che ho montato su diverse chitarre, e che non costi uno sproposito, ho provato a montarlo su una (PRS) tipo Les Paul (ovvero solid body mogano/acero + manico mogano) e non mi è piaciuto niente (è durato mezz'ora).E' certamente più "bright" del SD 59 ma nel modo per me sbagliato, accentuando quelle caratteristiche abbastanza distintive degli SD a basso output in genere che trovo proprio negative, ovvero la carenza di frequenze "medio-alte", un "buco" che rende il suono "hollow", con più "alti" ma insopportabilmente sottili. Sembra più un brutto P90 che un humbucker "bright".Probabilmente su chitarre con legni o costruzione più piena sui "medio-alti" potrebbe funzionare, dovrei provarlo sulla mia 335 tutta acero, ma essendo una chitarra decisamente "bright" il SD 59 che c'è suona alla grande. Morale difficile da "sposare".

After doing my research and hearing all the hype about this pickup, I finally purchased one of these about a year ago. I put it in an alder Telecaster body that was finished with just hand rubbed poly. I had all the good electronics in it: CTS pots, a CRL switch, vintage cloth wire. I got it all wired in. I set it up, plugged it in and... I found it sterile and lifeless. Very clean, very well made, but I just really did not hear any character. I initially had it paired with an STK-T3B. I tried pairing it with a Little 59 Tele bridge pickup. It certainly helped because of the presence of the mids in the Little 59, but I still just sort of felt meh about the pickup. I tried a few other things - I also put it in an old Squier Tele Thinline with the Gibson scale neck and it still just was not the pickup for me. I was getting ready to sell the pickup when I decided to take an old Squier Classic Vibe Tele Thinline body (semi hollow) I had and convert it from single coils to humbuckers. I covered the SH-2N with a nickel cover (no wax) and placed it into the neck position. I complimented it with a nickel covered SH-4B (JB) in the bridge position. I do have a conversion neck on the guitar - it's the Gibson 24-3/4" scale as opposed to Fender's 25.5". I have to tell you - this has become my main guitar. I cannot put this thing down it sounds so nice. I really like both the neck only position and the middle position on the selector switch that combines the Jazz/JB. I think this thing just gets an awesome sound now. I play a lot of older jazz standards arranged for chord/melody and this setup REALLY does the trick. It's great all around: clarity in the highs (but not too bright), nice definition in the lows, and those gorgeous, gorgeous mids are now present again. I don't think the SH-2N will work for every guitar, but when you get the right combination of factors involved, this pickup is just divine =)
