HSH Electric Guitars

The HSH pickup configuration has been a game-changer since the late ‘80s, popularized by Ibanez in collaboration with virtuoso Steve Vai. Today, this flexible setup has become a popular choice, offering players an incredible range of tones in a single instrument.

These guitars have two high-output humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions which deliver a warm, thick tone that thrives with high-gain distortion. The single coil in the middle adds brightness, clarity and definition. This configuration delivers incredible dynamic range – from bright singing tones all the way to rich, deep saturation. Thanks to 5-way pickup selectors, you can tap into that wide spectrum of sounds and precisely switch into the tone you want.

Ibanez of course have some excellent HSH options, from shredding machines to sleek and stylish instruments with gorgeous modern designs. Charvel and PRS have also stepped in to deliver premium HSH guitars in a range of styles. PRS even produce semi-hollow HSH guitars for that extra resonance.

Whether you’re shredding solos, slamming punchy riffs, or layering atmospheric cleans, an HSH electric guitar has unmatched versatility. Find your sound with the perfect balance of power and precision today.
