Seymour Duncan SH-6N Duncan Distortion Humbucker for Neck (Black)

Rock and metal guitarists worldwide have made the Duncan Distortion their weapon of choice for crushing high-output tones that cut through any mix. This legendary passive humbucker represents Seymour Duncan's original foray into high-output pickup design, featuring a massive ceramic magnet paired with hot coil windings that produce powerful yet balanced tones rich in upper-midrange harmonic content.

The bridge position Distortion excels at providing tight, mean low-end response while the high strings scream with harmonics, making it perfect for hard-hitting crunch rhythms and blazing lead work. Meanwhile, the neck position variant offers the highest output among all Seymour Duncan neck humbuckers—hot enough for smooth, fluid solo tones under gain whilst still capable of producing bell-like clean tones when you roll back the volume.

Hand-built in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara factory in California, each Distortion pickup incorporates premium components including a large ceramic bar magnet, nickel-silver bottom plate, and 4-conductor lead wire for versatile wiring options. The vacuum wax potting process ensures squeal-free performance even under high-gain conditions, making this pickup a reliable choice for serious players demanding professional results.
