Description
When you’re detuning a 7-string and still expect note definition under a wall of gain, the SH-6 Duncan Distortion neck pickup is the answer. Seymour Duncan built this one for players who live in drop tunings and refuse to sacrifice clarity for output — old school metal, nu-metal, thrash, gothic, garage, and punk all fall squarely in its wheelhouse.
The secret is a hefty ceramic magnet paired with hot coil windings, a combination that pushes serious output while keeping each string articulate even through a saturated distorted rig. It hits harder and more aggressively than the SH-5 Duncan Custom, making it the go-to choice when you want raw, punishing rock tone with zero mud.
This is the neck-position 7-string configuration in black, wired with a four-conductor hookup cable so you’ve got full flexibility for coil splitting, series/parallel switching, or whatever wiring scheme your build calls for. It’s also available in a bridge version if you want to load the full set.
- High output, ceramic magnet humbucker
- 7-string neck position, black cover
- Four-conductor cable for flexible wiring options
- More aggressive voicing than the SH-5 Duncan Custom
- Ideal for drop-tuned metal, thrash, punk, and gothic styles
