Description
The DSH is Suhr’s answer for guitarists who love the punch of a bridge humbucker but want something a little rounder than the brighter SSH. Wound with a double row of screws instead of the usual mix of screws and slugs, it trades a bit of top-end bite for smoother harmonics and a tighter, more controlled low end — without losing the mid-forward push that makes a Suhr bridge pickup shove a tube amp into overdrive so convincingly.
It’s built around an Alnico V magnet for that classic vintage-leaning pull, with 12.8 kOhms of DC resistance on the bridge coil giving it enough output to drive your front end hard while still cleaning up nicely when you back off the volume knob. Four-conductor hookup wire means you’re not locked into a standard series wiring scheme — split it, run it in parallel, or wire up a coil-tap if your guitar’s control cavity allows.
This particular DSH comes in the classic Zebra cover and is cut for Gibson-style 50mm pole spacing, so it’s a straightforward swap into most humbucker-routed guitars using that spacing standard.
Suhr pickups are built by JS Technologies under the direction of John Suhr and Steve Smith, the same team behind the guitars trusted by players from Scott Henderson to Guthrie Govan and Kirk Fletcher. ProAudioLand was named Suhr’s 2015 Electronics Dealer of the Year, and pickups like the DSH are exactly why — hand-built quality that translates every nuance of your playing straight to the amp.
