Seymour Duncan Jazz Pickup Review (SH-2n Neck Pickup vs. Jackson Neck Pickup)

[@clarenzlarka]

Beautiful tone with the SD. Thanks for the fine demo.

[@KomboKong]

I got the same jazz pickup and installing it in my schecter omen extreme and I cannot wait! Thank you for demonstrating the difference

Just ordered the Jazz neck to combine with Custom 5 bridge in a Harley Benton Les Paul clone - this video helped confirm I made the right choice! Jazz neck sounds cleaner and more expansive than the stock one it replaced, I think it will be the same case with my guitar.

Def the SD, but i do like the distortion out of the stock dinky pu's due to the less high end clarity for some situations. Is that you on the jazzy intro outros?

[@fridellpickups5054]

What where those classical pieces from the gain samples you played? Very nice playing 🙂👍🏻

I just got a SH-2n, put in a Schechter, it's great.

[@MezzMcGillicuddy1]

The jazz is very clear & articulate. Noticeably bright, but that’s why we have tone controls!

[@BlueJuice4U]

Idk man. I like the stock pups better. The jazz sounds too sharp and bright.

[@RickordProductions]

The factory pickups sound good too. 👍🏼

[@christosfragias592]

The Jazz is more clearer. Thanks for posting.

[@eiking0514]

How can I play it so well?

[@Gamberro619]

Nice video straight to the point SD is a clear winner

[@michaelworse6034]

Thanks 🎉 The original pups lack an amount of clarity . The Duncan sounds very bright . But that can be dialed in , I‘d say

[@slimsantilli4476]

Great job with your comparison. I would add that with a lower output pickup like the Jazz. Perhaps raising the pickups hight would be in order. Take care.

Oddly, the Jackson sounded more mellow and sweet for jazz, and R&B, and the SD more clear for distortion, ha. I got too many guitars to be constantly swapping pups (although I occasionally do), so I got an original Seymour Duncan signal booster pedal for output (up to 25 Db), and a couple Boss GE-7 pedals for EQ'ing the frequencies. A lot of it is just signal strength and frequency emphasis, right?

I'm looking for some new pick-ups for my Jackson. I think I might of found them. I've been reading how the SD Jazz is a good match for the SH-4B and I tend to agree. It is brighter than the stock Jackson but with tighter bottom end, but not muddy and mid range which gives it a more balanced sound.

[@alexc2680]

Great video and THX!!

[@robsthedon]

Nice chops

[@bryanwilliams3665]

Wow.. That SD Jazz has that really nice almost Nasal Hollow quality that sounds very close to the highly expensive/collectable Gibson T Top.. Would work in the Neck for a Larry Carlton tone or in the Bridge for a Jimmy Page Zeppelin T Top tone.

[@Trenchant463]

Great comparison and tone in the video. Thanks!

[@UTOTINONG_TINO]

The SD SH-2n has more clarity than Jackson Pickup.

[@bustanorms2028]

Nice jackson guitar

[@chimika5025]

What the.. I thought the jazz model humbucker gonna sound thicCer and fuller.. But it sounds brighter than the stock jackson pickup :( .. Anyways thanks for sharing this. Was gonna go mod my guitar with these jazz Hs but now i change my mind.

[@vanheirecu]

the duncans sound waaaayyy better!!!

[@rmcaudio7041]

Seriously, if you really think the stock pickups sound better, please stop looking for alternative pickups. It just won’t make any difference for you.

[@RickordProductions]

I think anyone can agree the SD’s have better clarity than the stock Jackson pickups.

[@sebastian993]

definitely brighter. probably the alnico 5
