Best Guitars With SH Configuration in 2023
Here you'll find the best guitars with SH configuration. If you like the bright tone of a Tele or Strat, but would also like to use warmer tones for different styles, a single-coil at the bridge and a Humbucker at the neck will give you the versatility you want.
Out of the more than 2000 guitars in our database, these are the best ones with these features, according to our algorithm. You can use our filters to the left to see only the exact types of guitar you want. You can also click on "Compare" to get a deep spec comparison between two guitars of your choice. This list is updated daily automatically as we add new guitars to our database. We'll show you first the best ones according to our automated scoring system, which takes into account dozens of parameters to determine the build quality, playability, pickups quality, value for money and more.
