SH5 fits fantastically in the bridge of a Gibson SG

Slyelessar 08.07.2019

I have had a Seymour Duncan SH-5 (Covered) previously on a 2012 Gibson SG Standard, which I ended up selling when moving abroad. Since I have returned, I have purchased a 19993 Gibson SG standard and have deliberately chosen the SH-5 for the bridge.

Pros:
Built for crunchy Hi-Gain rhythm. This pickup will give you 80's/90's type heavy rock and metal tones. It pairs really well with guitar bodies/wood with good mid tones- hence the SGs. Quality construction and parts.

Cons:
This can be hit or miss in Les Paul type guitars, and is one of those marmite pickups - you either love it or hate it.

Frequencies:
This pickup is designed with tight bottom end, a slight scoop in the mids, and clear hi's.

Further information:
This pickup model is liked by HIM guitarist Mikko Lindstrom in the bridge of his SG's. Naturally, this pickup works well with British voices amps such as Laney.

Great sound

Vaseer 06.07.2021

Was impressed with the contrast between this and the SH-1, but I think they pair very well.

Absolutely great sound, even through cheaper amp. Clear and great upgrade path.

Sehr guter Tonabnehmer

Den PU habe ich in meiner Epi Explorer in der Stegposition und ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die Saitentrennung ist optimal und er hat einen stabilen mid-gain. Wenn man gerne hardrock, blues rock usw. spielt, dann ist der custom5 eine gute Wahl. Sehr zufrieden.

Meine zweite Nummer 1...

F.J. Edwards 11.09.2018

...nämlich für die Stegposition in fast allen meinen vielen Gitarren mit Mahagoni-Korpus und mit 2 Humbuckern! Nicht zu scharf, kann aber mächtig knacken und pumpen, und hat auch in den oberen Lagen immer noch eine gute Fülle, wenn es die sonstige Substanz der Gitarre (Holz, Verarbeitung) hergibt.
