The Shadow SH AZ 49 features a unique "wide" string sampling field that produces a warm jazz tone with precise, clear sound. Iron cores are trimmed to provide balanced string output and clear string definition when playing chords. Coils are fully shielded and vacuum epoxy sealed for reliable, noise-free performance. It attaches to the fingerboard and floats between the body and strings and has a shielded, single conductor output. The flat frequency response enables every single note to be heard when playing chords.
