Re: What's The Deal With The SH-16
It will have two resonance frequencies because of the of the asymmetric coils, which will give it a bit more depth. It is very similar on paper to the concept of a Dimarzio Fred. It would also have quite a bit less output than your sh5

No, just the Custom and then different hybrids like the Custom/JB. Hybrids have more highs er mids to adjust to, which can be great if that's what you're going for. Such as cut in neck position or raunch in bridge position.

That's Dimarzio's whole selling point for that process. The custom/JB seems like it would sound a lot like a Norton.

Re: What's The Deal With The SH-16
Something is responsible for adding the midrange that the SH-14 so obviously lacks. It's not as simple as this, of course, but contrasting the Custom 5 with the 59/Custom Hybrid can go a long way in understanding what makes the SH-16, and really any other good hybrid worthwhile.
While I may just be a xxxxxxx xxxxxxx for not tolerating impolite and intellectually lazy threadjacking, I think this discussion is well worth its own topic.

Re: What's The Deal With The SH-16
The SH-16 is the perfect solution to the ones that finds the Custom a bit too much and the '59b a bit too little.
IME, the best inherent feature is its ability to sound great with almost any alnico mag and sound from good to decent with ANY mag, meaning it'll never sound bad, not even on purpose. Something that very few p'ups on the market could say for themselves.
Even though it's been marketed to the modern Metal crowd, where this p'up really shines is with the early-breakup, blues and classic rock crow, added the modern jazz, jazz-rock and fusion crowd as well, making it a truly "universal" p'up, something you just can't go wrong with.
I've made and installed literally dozens of this p'up in the most varied types of guitars, and not even once failed to deliver what expected, with a little bit of mag fine-tuning.
HTH,
