Description
The Seymour Duncan SH-6b Duncan Distortion is a high-output passive humbucker built for the bridge position, designed for rock and metal. A large ceramic bar magnet and hot coil windings produce tight, aggressive lows and searing top end with pronounced upper-mid harmonics. The pickup uses a 4-conductor shielded lead for series/split/parallel wiring options and is vacuum wax potted to resist microphonic feedback. Hand built in Santa Barbara, California, it is intended for hard-hitting rhythm and lead work and is also offered in Trembucker, 7-string, and 8-string variants. Seymour Duncan offers a 21-day exchange for pickups purchased from authorized U.S. dealers.
