Seymour Duncan SH-6 Duncan Distortion Humbucker Pickup
The Seymour Duncan SH-6 Duncan Distortion is the original high-output passive humbucker pickup, engineered for powerful rock and metal tones. It features a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings that deliver tight, mean lows and searing, harmonic-rich highs, making it ideal for aggressive rhythms and blazing leads.
Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup incorporates a nickel-silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for versatile wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted to ensure squeal-free performance. The neck model is the highest output neck humbucker offered, providing smooth, fluid solo tones under gain while retaining bell-like clean clarity.
Available in 6 string configurations with standard humbucker spacing, the Distortion is a perfect retrofit for modern extended-range guitars.
