## Description

Seymour Duncan SH-6B Duncan Distortion Black - Includes FREE Fitting at our York branch workshop, alternatively please ask for our Simply Pickup price.The Seymour Duncan SH-6B Duncan Distortion is one of the most popular pickups to come out of their factory in some time. It has joined the ranks of the '59, JB and Jazz models as one of the go to pickups for guitarists who need a solid and stable upgrade.Made For GainUnlike the other pickups that I mentioned before the Duncan Distortion is a bit of a high gain metal machine. With a ceramic magnet and an extremely high output this pickup is made to be thrown through a high gain amplifier as loud as it can run.Coil TapBecause this pickup uses a 4 conductor lead wire you can still dial it back nice and easily by tapping the coils. This means you can achieve classic single coil like response in a guitar that has just two humbuckers. You never know when this extra sound can come in handy even when using a lot of gain.Trembucker SpacedThis pickup is the trembucker spaced version meaning it is designed to work on guitars that use classic 'F' style bridges, hipshot hardware or Floyd Rose style tremolos.

Review: Fantástico - Wow! Being a Jackson RR3 user for more than 20 years it is a privilege. From its construction to the sound. Those guitars came with Duncan Design pickups, and I had fun all the time, but sadly the bridge one went to bed recently. So I decided to take a look at this one. I cannot recommend it enough to everyone. If you are looking for a bite in your sounds, this is the best. Megadeth? Metallica? Testament? Done! Classic metal at your service. And as another reviewer said before. This pickup loves Marshalls.
Review: Great upgrade to my Ibanez - This is a name brand pickup... well known for its quality and sound. It took me 15 minutes to replace the bridge pickup on my Ibanez.. and wow.. it gave a new life and tone to it. Really awesome upgrade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade to my Ibanez

This is a name brand pickup... well known for its quality and sound. It took me 15 minutes to replace the bridge pickup on my Ibanez.. and wow.. it gave a new life and tone to it. Really awesome upgrade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile pickup - great for Rock/Metal
*by C***N on January 24, 2018*

I put these in my Gibson Les Paul Tribute and they sound phenomenal over the stock 490t pickups that were originally in there. When playing hard rock and metal I get just the right crunch I was looking for. The cleans and lead play were much better than I expected as well, proving how versatile these are. The only downside is I don't like the classic rock tone I get out of these, but hey thats not my play style anyway. If your on the fence about these, do yourself a favor and pull the trigger.
