Product Description
Seymour created this classic humbucker combination while in England in 1974, and it remains his favorite set of pickups to this day an SH-4 JB for the bridge and SH-2n Jazz Model for the neck. Together they provide one of the most versatile humbucker ever built. The JB Model humbucker is our most popular pickup of all time. It adds juice and versatility to the bridge position of any humbucker equipped guitar. With its hot coils, and alnico 5 bar magnet, this pickup delivers an unmistakable upper midrange attack, a tight, articulate low end, and harmonically rich highs that can really sing. The JB is the perfect bridge pickup for anything from blues & country to the meanest hard rock & metal. The Jazz Model neck humbucker uses an alnico 5 bar magnet and a special coil wind for an articulate, glassy treble response that balances very well with its full, but tight low end. The scooped midrange gives this pickup a smooth tonal character all its own. Originally designed as the matching neck pickup for the JB Model bridge pickup, the Jazz is an incredibly versatile humbucker that will work for almost any style of music. The Jazz Model is an excellent neck position counterpart for almost any of our moderate to high-output bridge humbuckers. The Jazz Model has been used by many great players over the decades, from Randy Rhoads to Jeff Beck to Seymour W Duncan. Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA, factory, these humbuckers use an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.

Customers are satisfied with the sound quality of the guitar pickups. They mention that the tone out of the instrument is clear, warm, and driven. They also appreciate the outstanding intonation and a very warm sound. The set of these pickups always improves the sound of cheaper guitars, and they sound great dirty and clean up nice. They have a warm, expressive, quiet tone, and the distortion sounds way better than the standard pickups and the cleans are much clearer. The high notes are still bright but not so annoyingly thin, and are very controllable with volume or tone control.

For $130 you can't go wrong. All I had to do was install a mono jack and I used copper foil tape because the guitar did not have a hole for the ground that goes to the bridge. So I just took the ground wire and soldered it to some copper foil in the battery compartment. I don't have the luxury of turning an amp loud cause I live in an apartment, but I can assure you the sustain is pretty good.
These pickups are good for metal and probably heavy blues. But like any high output pickups you can coil tap these or turn down the volume and play some very nice clean tones.
Also what I noticed was that pickups that are not covered with a plate have a better sound. I hear more clarity. I simply never buy plated pickups, they cost more and I like the picking sound of my pick when it hits the strings. As I said earlier I have to play at lower volumes in my apartment.
Glad I bought these. And remember you cannot judge Seymour Duncan pickups by just one kind, they all have there own outputs. So make sure you really check them out so you don't get disappointed. I had a Schecter Solo 6 with the Seymour Duncan SH-11 and '59. they were alright pickups but they did not have the output and clarity that these pickups have. Also they were plated. So be sure to check out how each pickup works and don't judge one set if you have not heard any of the others, common sense.

Die als Hotrodder bekannte Kombination eignet sich hervorragend für Blues, Rock und sogar Hard Rock.
Auch in Split-Coil Schaltungen haben sie sich dank der 4-adrigen Zuleitungen bestens bewährt. Während der "Jazz Pickup" einen runden, warmen Ton in der Halsposition ergibt, ist der "JB = Jeff Beck" Bridge Tonabnehmer sehr beliebt in der Kombination mit gängigen Röhrenamps in angezerrten Signalwegen.
That worked much better.
