Seymour Duncan SH14 Custom 5 Alnico Humbucker Pickup
Balance your attack with this humbucker pickup. It delivers a vintage tone with less distortion than the SH-5.
Overview
The SH-14 Custom 5 pickup was developed by an eager group of contributors to Seymour Duncan's web user group who replaced the ceramic or Alnico 2 magnet in an SH-5 Custom or SH-11 Custom Custom with an Alnico 5. Tonally, the Custom 5 is a compromise between these 2 pickups. It offers the optimum balance of warmth, punch, power, and clarity. Its four-way conductor wire makes for multiple wiring options.
Compared to the SH-5 and SH-11, the tone is more vintage, with less distortion, but it's still very strong and powerful. It's fuller than an SH-5 with softer highs, more bass, and slightly less output. It's got a great rhythm sound and a beautiful, deep singing lead tone. Clean sounds are rich and full with enhanced presence. Think of the Custom 5 as a higher output SH-1 '59 with a deeper bottom end and expanded output.

"SH-14 CUSTOM 5,... SCHENKER SHOULD HAVE HAD ONE OF THESE BACK IN HIS GIBSON DAYS!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I had an ESP/LTD EC256 Lemon Drop that had the 150 humbuckers in it,and,they really are Pretty Bad,..I Ordered the SH-14 to either Install in a project,or,if I got BORED and wanted to try it in one of my Regulars. I opted for the LTD EC256,and Let Me Tell You,I LOVE THIS GUITAR,..It reminds me of MICHAEL SCHENKER in his UFO/MSG Days,BUT HEAVIER!,Just more Articulate with chords,LOTSA SUSTAIN,Harmonics are incredible. And One thing I didn't expect,Roll back on the Volume,It cleans up Real Well,Still Very warm,Not Muddy,I have a feeling that I'm going to be buying a few more of these : )
Musical Background:
Been Playing guitar since I had my FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE Poster On My Wall,I HOPE they have zZounds in HEAVEN!!!
Musical Style:
Rock,Blues,Hard Rock,Mild Metal,..NO "EL SCREAMO" Stuff,Classic Rock,My Own SCHTUFF,.. : )
