Available now at Sadek Music, this classic Seymour Duncan humbucker combination was created by Seymour himself in England in 1974, and it remains his personal favorite to this day — featuring the iconic SH-4 JB in the bridge and the SH-2n Jazz Model in the neck. Together, these two pickups form one of the most timeless and versatile humbucker sets ever built.
The JB Model (Bridge)
The JB Model humbucker is Seymour Duncan’s most popular pickup of all time. With hot coils and an Alnico 5 bar magnet, it delivers a powerful and expressive tone with a signature upper midrange attack, tight low end, and singing, harmonically rich highs. The JB adds punch and versatility to the bridge position of any humbucker-equipped guitar — perfect for everything from blues and country to hard rock and metal.
The Jazz Model (Neck)
The Jazz Model humbucker complements the JB perfectly with its articulate treble response and tight, full low end. Featuring an Alnico 5 bar magnet and a special coil wind, it delivers a smooth, balanced tone with a scooped midrange that enhances clarity. Originally designed as the JB’s matching neck partner, the Jazz has become a favorite among guitarists of all styles, used by legends such as Randy Rhoads, Jeff Beck, and Seymour W. Duncan himself.
The world's most popular humbucker. Provides 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.
Handcrafted Quality
Every JB & Jazz Humbucker Set is hand-built in Seymour Duncan’s Santa Barbara, California factory using premium materials — including nickel silver bottom plates, 4-conductor lead wires for versatile wiring options, and vacuum wax potting for squeal-free performance.
