Shadow AZ48

Pickup

Among jazz guitarists the SHADOW - AZ48 "Atilla Zoller" has long been an insider tip. A special mounting bracket "floats" the pickup practically between body top and strings, its wide magnetic field picks up all the nuances of the play. The result is a overtone rich and balanced sound in all fingerboard positions. Actually a loud single coil but by means of abundant shielding there are no side noises.

Humbucker for jazz guitar
Warm sound with precise definition, even when playing chords
Assembly at the end of the fingerboard
Hovers between body top and strings
Attila Zoller Design
One of the most popular jazz pickups
Played, among others by Kevin Eubanks, Jim Hall, Woody Mann and Peter Leitch

Shadow AZ48

Christian M. 401, 16.09.2013

I'm using this pickup on my Loar LH600 (on which it just about fits (!)). Pretty happy with it. The sound is perhaps a little trebly for those wanting a classic humbucker sound, but I find in combination with the acoustic sound of the guitar, or a bit of EQ from the amp or soundman, one can get a really good, transparent contemporary jazz tone. I'm using this pickup with a ZT Acoustic Lunchbox, which gets use both as a small standalone amp and a DI into the mixer on larger gigs.

String wise- this doesn't balance awfully well with bronzes (although it depends on amp). I've switched over to nickel round wounds which have a good acoustic tone and work much better with the pickup.

Thomann service - excellent.

Very good smooth jazzy pickup

18.04.2016

This floating pickup is easy to fit, and sounds great - exactly what you want. Very smooth jazzy humbucker tone, albeit in quite a large package. Looks good too which always helps.

My only complaint is that there's only a 2 wire output, so coil taps are out of the question.
