Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Model Humbucker Pickup, White

My favorite pickups... great sound, attack and sustain.

Bought this to put in my Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) replica Stratocaster, and it works perfectly. The tone it achieves nails the early Green Day tone and sounds better than the stock Squier humbucker. The pickup arrived quickly in a nice sturdy box with instructions and was quick to install, having only needed about 10 minutes to figure out the included wiring diagram. Would definitely buy this pickup again in the future for other guitars, as it's one of the best ones I've heard for the price. I use it mainly for playing rock and pop music, but it's versatile enough to play any genre.

great

The best sound pickup ever👍

This model is the most used replacement humbucker in the world for a reason! Provides tight, punchy lows, warm midrange and extremely crisp, well defined highs. If you like Hard Rock or more traditional Metal this is a must have! If you like some of the more alternative styles of Metal where you pound out power chords as fast as you can and get that muddy sound people scream to this is not for you. It will expose your skills! If the guitar you are putting this into is already somewhat bright sounding again I would look at another model pup. For guitars made with woods that create a lower range naturally this is for you! I put it in an ESP Mystique in the bridge of course along with a Duncan SH1 '59 PAF in the neck and it sounds like a dream now! The JB was Mr. Duncan's favorite pickup of all time. He built the first one over 40 years ago for Jeff Beck to try and he loved it. If your guitar has a mahogany body, mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard like the Mystique, whoa! I've used most famous humbuckers ever made, Dimmarzio's, custom made PRS Dragons, EMG's, and various other Duncan's as well. Even played the famous EVH Wolfgang guitar for a few years with two of the famous EVH Wolfgang Humbuckers in it and I can honestly say this sounds every bit as good and even crisper highs IMO for less than half the price! The harmonics you can nail with ease and has fantastic sustain as well. Great for rhythm and lead as well. This pickup has been used and is still used by many famous guitarists and for some of the most famous solos ever. Jeff Beck, Warren DeMartini, Dave Mustaine, Joe Satriani and that ever so challenging Bark At The Moon played by Jake E. Lee himself using this pup. I Remember You by Skid Row, that famously beautiful solo, yep uses the JB. Many more artists than I could possibly remember. It's the most widely used bridge humbucker on Jackson's Soloist series guitars as well. Sounds great clean as well. Very versatile as well for most genres of music so you won't have to switch guitars very often while playing live. I mostly play Hard Rock and Traditional Metal. AC/DC, Aerosmith, GNR, Skid Row, Ratt, Def Leppard, Pantera, Ozzy, Metallica, Eagles, Dokken, DIO, Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat, Bullet For My Valentine, Megadeth... This pup on the right guitar can nail anything along this style of music plus so much more! If you play Death Metal and some of those muddier darker sounding Metal spin offs where you like to scoop the mids this is not for you. If you like what you've just read do not hesitate to buy. I'm gonna swap a few more bridge humbuckers out with this model. Not recommended for use in the neck position.

It looks pretty good, I have not installed yet but I have no doubt of the quality of the sound.

Seymour Duncan pickups always delivers great tone ….can’t go wrong with any model you choose.Delivered on time- I actually expected a delay because it is Christmas.

Well, they are beautifully built and look lovely on my PRS. They have very good output. But do they sound any different than the stock PRS pickups? I'm not so sure. With a few distortion pedals in tow, when I compare them side by side with other humbuckers, they all seem pretty similar to my sensitive ears.
