## Overview

The Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz Hot Rodded Humbucker Set pairs the legendary SH-4 JB bridge pickup with the articulate SH-2N Jazz neck pickup, handcrafted in the USA. Featuring Alnico 5 magnets, hot coils, and 4-conductor wiring, this set offers dynamic response, tonal clarity, and versatile coil-splitting options, making it a top choice for professional guitarists across blues, rock, country, and metal genres.

## 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.

Review: Sweet! - I had a Schecter C-1 with EMG X Series active pickups. I decided to put passive pickups and sold the EMGs on Ebay. For $130 you can't go wrong. All I had to do was install a mono jack and I used copper foil tape because the guitar did not have a hole for the ground that goes to the bridge. So I just took the ground wire and soldered it to some copper foil in the battery compartment. I don't have the luxury of turning an amp loud cause I live in an apartment, but I can assure you the sustain is pretty good. These pickups are good for metal and probably heavy blues. But like any high output pickups you can coil tap these or turn down the volume and play some very nice clean tones. Also what I noticed was that pickups that are not covered with a plate have a better sound. I hear more clarity. I simply never buy plated pickups, they cost more and I like the picking sound of my pick when it hits the strings. As I said earlier I have to play at lower volumes in my apartment. Glad I bought these. And remember you cannot judge Seymour Duncan pickups by just one kind, they all have there own outputs. So make sure you really check them out so you don't get disappointed. I had a Schecter Solo 6 with the Seymour Duncan SH-11 and '59. they were alright pickups but they did not have the output and clarity that these pickups have. Also they were plated. So be sure to check out how each pickup works and don't judge one set if you have not heard any of the others, common sense.
Review: Old Guitar, New Sound - I have a late 90's Carvin SC90 W/ humbuckers & 2 coil splitting switches. It's a beautifully made guitar. Solid mahogany body w/ flame maple top. I hated the way it sounded. The pick ups(pups) are C-22's which are Carvin OEM. I decided to give the guitar one more chance before I got rid of it. I was going to install a Seymour Duncan JB & a '59 like I did with my Les Paul. As I was browsing on desertcart I found the Hot Rod Special (Seymour Duncan JB & Jazz). I went to the Seymour Duncan web site & listened to what the Jazz sounded like. Sounded good to me, so I placed the order with desertcart. I received the pups in 3 days. I had never rewired a guitar before, but got through it with no problems. The guitar is now a screamer. It sounds a lot like my Les Paul only a little hotter. The split coil settings give it a Tele type sound. With the Jazz in the neck position I get a very cool single coil sound that is great for chords & a crunch type setting on my amp (Rivera). I don't think I could have made a better choice. Remember, there is only one thing that translates what you play & that the pups. If they suck so does your sound.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by J***D on March 5, 2017*

If you are looking for a set of pickups to make a cheap guitar into something great, this is it. I installed these on my $500 Epiphone Les Paul Standard. The Jazz is typical classic Les Paul, warm, mellow and classic Slash when distorted. The JB breaks up easily, you can get everything from modern hard rock to classic ZZ-top style blues. I don't use clean tones very often so I can't comment too much but they sound great there as well. I also have both set up to coil-split and when I do it sounds eerily like a Tele. I'd recommend these pickups most to a rock guitarist, they aren't going to get a saturated modern metal tone without effects. These are both fantastic pickups and they made a cheap guitar into one of my favorites. They don't give you great tone "for the money" they just give you great tone.
