SD JB/Jazz vs Suhr SSH+/SSV?

[Rex_Rocker]

What's the "Suhr thing" sound like?

To me, cleaner/tighter low-end and a vintage-y clarity to the high end. Then again, my sample size of Suhr pickups is just two SSH+'s and an Aldrich, so take it as a grain of salt.

I've read from Suhr that the "special" Alnico 5 that they use has a character that's supposed have the "sweetness" of an aged magnet, but without the loss in gauss. I've never magnet swapped a "regular" Anico 5 into my Suhr pickups, and maybe it's just my perception, but I've always felt they have a similar vibe to the Antiquity JB that I had in my LTD EC in the sense that they feel a little more "refined" than regular production Duncans. Not to say better or worse, as I still absolutely love the regular production JB, but they definitely remind me more of the vibe that the Antiquity JB gave me.

im guessing those last two wire gauges are incorrect. 16k-17k is probably 44 wire

Thats true. Depends on the bobbin design but generally speaking, If you max out with awg42, it goes ~10K. With awg43, it goes ~12-13K, with awg44 ~17K
