Designed by the well - known humbucking pickup expert Tim Shaw, the ShawBucker™ pickup offers a fresh approach to an old concept. It retains remarkable clarity and note definition while effectively blocking 60 - cycle hum and other unwanted noise. With a multi - dimensional tone and well - defined overtones, this open - coil pickup enhances and balances your guitar's natural sound and works great with other pickup designs. The ShawBucker 1 is ideal for either position in an HH setup or as the bridge pickup in an HSS setup as it blends seamlessly with single - coil pickups. The ShawBucker 2 has a slightly higher output than the ShawBucker 1 and is perfect for the bridge position in an HH configuration. Key features include being designed by pickup maestro Tim Shaw, having a low - output yet powerful tone, using Alnico II magnets for a sweet and musical sound, enamel - coated magnet wire for a vintage - style tone, requiring a 500kΩ potentiometer, and coming with installation hardware. Specifications are as follows: Cover Color is Zebra (Black/White), Magnet Type is Alnico 2, Magnet Wire is enamel - coated, DC Resistance is 7.6K for Shawbucker 1 and 7.8K for Shawbucker 2, Inductance is 4.0 Henries for Shawbucker 1 and 4.5 Henries for Shawbucker 2, Bobbin Material is Fiber, Lead Wire is Vinyl - covered, and Pole Pieces are Flush - mount.
Using your Fender Shawbucker 2 Humbucking Electric Guitar Pickup is easy. First, install it following the included hardware and make sure to use a 500kΩ potentiometer. If you're using it in an HH configuration, place the ShawBucker 2 in the bridge position for the best results. In an HSS setup, consider using the ShawBucker 1 for better blending with single - coil pickups. When it comes to maintenance, keep your pickup clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away any dust or debris. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can affect its performance. Also, be careful when handling the lead wires to prevent any damage. With proper use and care, your pickup will provide great sound for a long time.
