Seymour Duncan SHR1N BLK

So i bought this pickup for the neck position of one of my Charvel Strats.

Pros :

- Huge fat sound, warm yet with good clarity at the same time.

- Medium-hot output. Definitely not as hot output as the bridge version of the Hot Rails. so you can still get plenty of dynamics from this pickup without it completely distorting and compressing.

- It'll match well with a medium to hot output bridge pickup with minimal volume drop when switching between pickups.

- Splits extremely well and sounds like a nice overwound singlecoil when split. Also works great in Parallel. In regular series wiring, it's like a big fat singing humbucker tone.

- Extremely versatile tonewise.

- Very well made, can't find any faults at all in the quality.

Cons :

- Sealed pickup so you can't swap the covers for different colours. You have to buy the colour you want.
(However, on the other hand.. the fact that it's sealed is actually a good thing because nothing can get inside and cause a failure).

Conclusion :

This is a fantastic sounding pickup that'll provide a plethora of great usable sounds in any guitar. Especially good in the neck position of a Strat style guitar, which is how i've been using it.
