Great Sounding Pickup

Milodon 12.09.2018

Bought for an old Squier that I wanted to get going again and I've not been disappointed!

Has a great output and a really nice crisp clarity when driven hard but cleans up really nicely. 4 Wires meant I could try different wiring configurations and with coil splitting this pickup sounds just as good as my American Strat in a very cheap body.

I can understand why this pickup is so popular

sibilar 11.03.2022

I bought this pickup to upgrade my friend's s-s-s stratocaster. Luckily, the guitar was already routed for h-s-h so no drilling, just put a new pickguard, a bit of soldering (500k volume and tone pots) and it's done.
The sound is quite mid to high mid heavy and cuts through nicely, maybe lacking a bit of bottom end for my tastes. Oh yes, the stock single coils now sound a bit wimpy compared to the humbucker; I will spend some time adjusting pickup heights in order to even out the volumes. Overall, a solid upgrade.

The Ultimate Cheat Code For Perfect Tone! 🎸

RipperQuiroz 16.08.2026

There is a reason the SH-4 JB and SH-2 Jazz combo is the most famous pickup swap in history—it simply works for everything. The SH-4 in the bridge gives you that classic, aggressive rock bite with amazing harmonics, while the SH-2 in the neck is incredibly smooth, articulate, and beautiful for clean tones or fluid leads. From jazz to heavy metal, this set turns any average guitar into an absolute studio weapon. You genuinely cannot go wrong with this legendary pair!
