The buck starts here.

This is my SH-5 humbucking pickup; I call it the Duncan Custom.

It has the warmth and response of the old "Patent Applied For" humbuckers, but also has more output and a brighter sound.

The brightness comes from the specially-designed high-power ceramic magnet that is connected to both coils, making one coil a north pole and the other a south pole. The studs and adjustable screws conduct magnetism up toward the strings.

The opposing poles pick up outside interference as equal but opposite currents which cancel each other before the signal reaches the amp, and that is how hum is eliminated.

The higher output comes from the extra wire I wind on the coils; each coil has exactly the same number of turns of copper wire. The resistance is perfectly balanced with the magnetic power.

My SH-5 sends a hot signal into your amp without sacrificing the high frequencies; you get a defined attack and superb sustain along with sensitive response to your picking techniques.

This is one of the most versatile of all humbuckers--and you can put it into your guitar. I make eight different kinds of humbuckers, each with a different sound, and they fit right into most guitars with little or no alteration.

I always give you instructions and wiring diagrams.
