Seymour Duncan SH-6b Duncan Distortion Humbucker Pickup - Black

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.

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.

These are the only assignments humbuckers I use. Have them in 19 guitars. They give me exactly what I am looking for...strong with really nice tone and the attack I need.

I put this pickup in the bridge of my Carvin CT6 and it was a perfect upgrade. It's definitely high output. The low end is nice and tight. Mids are pronounced and crunchy. Treble is present but not spikey. I would definitely recommend this pickup for any music style where distortion is involved. By itself on clean settings it's okay but there are better pickups for that. I paired it with a SD Jazz in the neck and in the center position with both pickups on it makes for a great chimey clean sound.

Quality!

I originally purchased one of these pickups about 10 years ago to install on an Ibanez Destroyer. I loved the sound, these pickups are very versatile. The cleans are very bright and clear, and when you turn up the volume and gain the distortion out of these pickups are punchy, bassy, yet remain clear. That guitar is long gone, I purchased another one of these pickups to install a Gibson SG Special that i've owned for just as long.I haven't tried any other pick ups , I'll say I got it right the first time!

Awesome distortion and easy-to-use install into my HH telecaster. Much better than the PG that came with it. I like this better than the sh-4.

I was looking for something for metal but with good and well rounded tone as well. Tried 4 other before this one even a $180 pickup but this one did it for me. Great for both soloing, rhythm and hard rock as well. I highly recommend.
