Seymour Duncan SH-10b Full Shred Reverse Zebra Pickup
The SH-10b Full Shred is a medium-output humbucker engineered to capture aggressive, high-gain material while preserving articulation and dynamic response in the mix. This bridge-position pickup delivers the presence and cut heavy styles demand while maintaining enough clarity to sit distinctly in dense arrangements. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, the SH-10b represents Seymour Duncan’s commitment to combining traditional craft with modern tonal refinement for recording and live tracking applications.
Tone & Construction
Built with an Alnico 5 bar magnet and nickel-silver bottom plate, this pickup produces a balanced high-output character with controlled midrange presence that translates well across different mixing contexts. The double rows of Allen screw pole pieces allow for precise output shaping and coil balance tuning, enabling session-specific voicing adjustments without swapping pickups. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squealing, ensuring clean recording takes at any monitoring level.
Recording & Wiring Flexibility
The 4-conductor lead wire supports series, parallel, and split-coil configurations, offering tonal options during recording or future production modifications. With a DC resistance of 14.1 kOhm, the SH-10b sits in the medium-hot zone—responsive enough for modern high-gain recording without the brittle high-end artifacts that complicate mixing.
