has anyone checked out both (or either) of these enough to offer a comparison between them? or maybe an opinion on them?

Re: Suhr SSH and/or SSH+
I've had the SSH+. It's a cool high output pickup. I ended up getting rid of it because it just had too much top end for my 5153. I also found that it didn't roll down as well as a JB.2001 Les Paul Classic (Antiquity Set)
2005 Les Paul Standard (Aldrich set)
2019 Washburn N24 (Duncan Custom Shop PATB)

Re: Suhr SSH and/or SSH+
finally had time to realize that I've never moved on this. I called Suhr and talked to a helpful dude. I pulled the trigger on a SSH+ that should be arriving in a few days. The regular SSH is also appealing, so I might end up giving both a shot.
anyone have any time with the regular SSH?

Re: Suhr SSH and/or SSH+
I've played both. The CLOSEST comparisons I can think of, for Duncan pickups:
SSH = Duncan Custom 5
SSH+ = Duncan JB
But that's a very, very, very loose comparison. The SSH is more like a louder PAF, whereas the SSH+ is getting into the high-output territory. Outputs are similar, magnets are similar, but of course - we all know that mags and DC resistance don't amount to everything.
The Duncans sound like, well, Duncans, and the Suhrs definitely have John's sonic signature on them.

Re: Suhr SSH and/or SSH+
got it in last week, just too busy to have time to install it.
did get some readings from it:
series: 17.28k
split N: 8.64k
split S: 8.64k
parallel: 4.32k
have a mahogany guitar with rosewood board that has a PRS Tremonti bridge in there. thinking about putting this in the same guitar.
will follow up when that happens. maybe this Sat, but probably next.

I'd like to get my hands ahold of a plain SSH - The + did not work out for me.

Re: Suhr SSH and/or SSH+
It supposedly is -
I've got a couple of the dual screw versions - the DSH. Problem is with the SSH, you need to be sure the guy taking your order knows not to order the + - That's how I wound up with mine. You'll probably have to wait for them to make it.

I found them online via a retailer. it was a little less than buying direct and there was free shipping.
