  • JB humbucker^Jazz neck humbucker^mounting hardware^wiring instructions
  • 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.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023
    Got these to replace the alnico pro's that came in my Epiphone SG. I play a lot of thrash metal, was skeptical about the jazz neck pickup at first. Everything fits great and went together smooth, add some gain and there pickups are MEAN! They have great clarity and lots of crunch! I love the sound of these pickups. I'm also running Ernie Ball Cobalt strings, I highly recommend the combo

    5.0 out of 5 stars Una mejora notable en cuanto a brillo y claridad del sonido.
    Reviewed in Spain on September 10, 2019
    Instaladas en una Epiphone SG G-400 PRO. La mejora en cuanto al sonido ha sido notable (se han cambiado, además de las pastillas, el cableado y los potenciómetros de serie por unos de calidad). Las compré porque las pastillas de serie tenían un sonido poco claro y algo apagado. El cambio ha sido muy bueno. Ahora la guitarra suena con mucho brillo y claridad tanto en la pastilla de puente como en la pastilla de mástil (que era donde más apagada se notaba la pastilla de serie). No incorporan nada de ruido cuando se usan en modo single coil, y además la versatilidad que tienen para tocar desde un sonido rockero más vintage estilo black keys hasta metal es admirable, incluso suenan de lujo recortando el tono en la pastilla de mástil para conseguir sonidos limpios con mucha presencia de bajos estilo blues. Muy recomendable su compra a pesar del desembolso que conlleva un cambio de pastillas.
