Seymour Duncan SH55 Seth Lover 4 Conductor Humbucker with Gold Cover

Four Conductor Wiring

Allows much versatility in wiring and switching configurations, i.e., series/split/parallel, splitting with coil selection, in/out of phase with itself, in/out of phase with another pickup, etc.

Application

Ultra-authentic, Alnico 2, P.A.F.-type humbucker. Great for country, jazz, blues and classic rock.

Description

Designed jointly by Seymour and humbucker inventor, the late Seth Lover. Just like the original 1955 P.A.F.s, the SH-55 utilizes a nickel silver cover and long-legged nickel silver bottom plate, butyrate plastic bobbins, plain enamel wire, Alnico 2 bar, wooden spacer, and black paper tape. To be completely true to the original design and tone, the pickup is not wax potted. The tone is vintage P.A.F. The unpotted cover gives a slightly “honky” microphonic quality. Vintage style single conductor cable standard.

Complete Setup

Mostly commonly used in a neck and bridge set. Can be used in the neck with an SH-11 Custom Custom for heavier rock sounds from the bridge position.

Guitars

For brighter toned instruments. Works especially well with maple and ebony fingerboards. Not recommended for use with ultra high gain tube amplifiers over 50 watts.

Available

mods Choose nickel or gold-plated cover. Four-conductor cable.
