Seymour Duncan SH-18n Whole Lotta Humbucker Neck White Pickup

The SH-18n delivers articulate, controlled output with smooth midrange character that sits naturally in mixes from the neck position. This pickup balances clarity and sustain without the aggression of higher-output designs, making it ideal for capturing responsive dynamics across rhythm and lead tracking in the studio.

Tone & Output for Recording

Moderate output combined with 42-gauge plain-enamel wire and a rough cast Alnico 5 magnet produces warm, focused tones with natural compression that translates well through audio interfaces and mixing chains. The design excels at articulating complex chord voicings while maintaining definition in single-note passages, giving engineers clarity to work with during overdubs and final mixes.

Construction & Studio Performance

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup features wax potting throughout to eliminate microphonic feedback and squeal—critical for clean recording sessions. The nickel silver bottom plate and four-conductor cable provide both tonal clarity and wiring flexibility for coil-splitting or phase reversal configurations, expanding your sonic palette during production.
