Seymour Duncan's JB Model humbucker has earned its legendary status as the company's best-selling pickup by consistently adapting to every musical evolution from blues and country through to grunge and thrash metal. This versatile pickup features a full, powerful low end paired with crisp, detailed highs, while its signature upper-midrange bump provides the crunch and chunk that heavy chords demand, yet transforms single notes and solos into singing, vocal-like tones.
The JB's hot output naturally drives your amplifier harder, generating increased sustain and rich harmonics that enhance your playing dynamics. For optimal tonal shaping, pair it with a 500k volume pot to maintain excellent high-end cut, or switch to a 250k pot for a sweeter, softer response that suits smoother playing styles. The pickup works exceptionally well when matched with Jazz or '59 neck pickups for a balanced guitar setup.
Handcrafted in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara, California factory, each JB Model incorporates premium components including an Alnico 5 bar magnet and nickel silver bottom plate. The 4-conductor lead wire opens up multiple wiring possibilities such as series, parallel and split coil configurations, while vacuum wax potting ensures completely squeal-free performance during high-gain applications.
