Pickup Spotlight -SH-15 Alternative 8

That's a fact. Here at Seymour Duncan, we've responded with the SH-15 Alternative 8™, our first production pickup to use an Alnico 8 magnet. The Alternative 8 starts with hot coils wound for maximum output. With the addition of the Alnico 8 magnet, the output is enhanced with a huge, punchy sound, full of fat mids and present upper-mids. This is a dynamic pickup that doesn't get "sizzly" or dark. The SH-15 is perfect for all rock styles and it's great for use with high gain amps.

The Alternative 8 is recommended for the bridge position and it's available uncovered, with gold or nickel covers, and in Trembucker spacing. It matches great with a moderate output neck pickup like the SH-1n '59 or the SH-2n Jazz Model.

The Alternative 8 is further enhanced when it's paired with one of our high-gain distortion pedals like the SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem, the SFX-05 Lava Box (see page 6) or the SFX-08 Power Grid (see page 1) for genre-spanning guitar tones that range from straight-ahead rock to blazing metalcore.
