Hi there,

Im new around my name Anibal alias (friedman4ever) a first class Marty Fridman fan, i already did lot of research on this forum amp; already made my choice for my new set SD humbuckers after reading a lot around here.

1 x SH2N Jazz Humbucker Guitar Pickup (Neck, Black)
1 x SH-6 Duncan Distortion™ Humbucker Black

i'm going to install this on my Ibanez S 540 LTD
i'm using a peavey 6505 top
I play lot of metal, trash, heavey but also lot of prog stuff amp; love Marty Style of playing.

Hope i'am in the right track with my choice.

Welcome to the forum, man

I believe your choice is good.
The Jazz in the neck position will give you a nice, articulate clean tone.
I haven't tried the Distortion but I think Schecter puts the Distortion and Jazz in some of their guitars, and I believe they know what they're doing, so I think your choice is good.

Rock on!

Tony

Welcome to the forum, bro. I think you'll be quite happy with your choice.

I just can't wait, i installed 4 months ago a SD Full Shred, amp; i love it, it was my first SD.. i use EMG amp; Dimarzion on othres guitars, i'm up to something new, don't want the same sound on all my axes..

the distortion is great for what you want

I've been listenig a lot the clips on the duncan website.. i have the idea the Duncan distortion is a little bit over the top amp; trebelish ?? the JB amp; Custom seems a little less trebelish ? i see for example Marty Friedman amp; Dave mustaine are using the JB amp; some other hot guitarist.. of course they have thousands of dollars on their rig.. but they sound awesome..

I don't think you can put much stock in the Duncan clips. Unless you are using the same guitar and same amp, etc., you will get a different tone. The DD is great. It has the same coils as the JB, but uses a ceramic magent instead of the JBs A5. I don not have a problem with shrillness in my SG. Anyway, you DO have a tone knob...right? Use it!

If you like the sound of the JB or Custom better, go for it. They're all great pickups that would probably work for you.

After reading lot of comments here amp; at the harmony centraal forum i thing i'm going to change my choice, instead of a DD a JB for the bridge, i'm afraid my guitar is going to sound to treble since is a Ibanez S (a thin one) amp; this kind of duncans make a trebelish sound on guitars with this kind of body.
