The Seymour Duncan JB Model is the world's most popular humbucker. This Trembucker version provides the same slammin' output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and just the right blend of sustain and distortion. Goes from sweet warm tones to raw rock 'n' roll. Compared to the SH-14 Custom 5, the JB has a stronger treble detail. Some players use it with 250K pots to smooth out the highs. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable. Application The archetype hot-rodded humbucker for over 30 years. Great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal. Complete Setup Recommended for bridge position. Often a JB is paired with a neck pickup like the SH-2n Jazz (Seymour's favorite) for versatility or a SH-1 '59 for P.A.F. tones. Guitars For balanced and warm instruments. Works especially well with rosewood fingerboards.

- High-Output Pickup - Experience the quinitessential high-output Trembucker pickup. Perfect to cover everything from blues, country, fusion, punk, hard rock, grunge, and thrash; the JB has always sounded just right.
- Crisp Highs - The low end is full and powerful, the highs are crisp and detailed and 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.
- Enhanced Dynamics - Delivers a bold, hot output that pushes your amp just a little bit harder, unleashing more sustain and harmonics.
- Pairing Options - Use it with a 500k volume pot for great high-end cut, or try a 250k pot to sweeten and soften the tone for smoother styles. It pairs particularly well with the Jazz or ’59 neck pickups, and some players even like to use a JB in the neck position for an extra-fat solo tone.
- Made in the USA - Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the JB Model uses an Alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options like series, parallel and split coil, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
