Seymour Duncan

Description

The JB Model humbucker is the most popular pickup Seymour Duncan makes. Blues, country, fusion, punk, hard rock, grunge, thrash; the JB has always sounded just right, even as new genres emerged around it. The low end is full and powerful, the highs are crisp and detailed. There’s an upper-midrange bump that adds crunch and chunk to heavy chords but translates to a singing, vocal-like quality when you play single notes or solos. Meanwhile the hot output pushes your amp just that little bit harder for more sustain and richer harmonics.

    Great pickup really works great to wake up your strat and gets it ready for bluegrass metal funk grunge.

    The ultimate Rogaine Rock pickup! Tight, chunky bottom; thick mids; SCREAMING highs with gobs o' sustain. Pinch harmonics just leap out of my Strat now. This thing is really fun to play!

  • Great pickup; perfect fit for a stratocaster.

    Wired in my new jb trembucker as a replacement to the original jb humbucker I ordered. Definitely, a better fit with proper alignment to the strings of my MIM stratocaster. I don't have a great amp to take advantage of the sound, but, I can perceive a distinctly different tone using my BOSS GT-8 for effects, especially on the blues settings. The only downside was the poor packaging; it came in a plastic bag much like my 90 day prescription medication. Thankfully, there was no damage to the pickup.
