The JB Model humbucker stands as one of the most trusted pickups in modern music, proving its worth across blues, country, fusion, punk, hard rock, grunge, and thrash with remarkable consistency. This true classic adapts seamlessly as new musical styles emerge, making it an essential choice for guitarists who demand versatility without compromise.
Built around a powerful low end foundation, the JB offers crisp, detailed highs complemented by an upper-midrange boost that adds serious crunch to heavy chords whilst giving single notes and solos a rich, vocal-like character. The hot output provides just enough push to drive your amplifier harder, enhancing sustain and harmonics for a more dynamic response that cuts through any mix.
Tone shaping flexibility comes through strategic pot selection - pair it with a 500k volume pot for sharp, cutting highs, or opt for a 250k pot to smooth out the response for mellower applications. The JB pairs exceptionally well with Jazz or '59 neck pickups, though some players favour using the JB in the neck position itself for a thicker solo tone.
Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, CA, each JB Model features an Alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, and 4-conductor lead wire enabling various wiring configurations. Vacuum wax potting eliminates unwanted squeal, whilst Trembucker spacing ensures proper fit for 6-string guitars.
