    Seymour Duncan

    Twin-coil design pickup gives you the character of the JB model humbucker in a single-coil size. Its adjustable pole pieces more closely emulate the magnetic field of a full-size humbucker and allow you to fine-tune the balance of your strings: a first for a humbucker this size. You can expect great harmonics and a sweet high end.

    it is a great, well rounded pickup that cleans up nicely, but will growl, squeal, scream, and shred with the gain cranked. One word of caution: Just like with the Pearly Gates, if your right/left hand technique, and synchronization aren't up to task, this pickup will let you know with a quickness. It is VERY articulate, even in high gain situations.
    Dropped it in the bridge position of one of my many strats and viola, I now have the versatile guitar I wanted. This pickup is very close in tone and output to the JB I have in one of my Jacksons, and is hotter than the Pearly Gates in my Big Apple Strat. The tone is similar with just a little more upper mid than the PG, but is every bit as articulate. just used it to record some Dropped D rhythm tracks and can say that this picjup does NOT mush up! Cleans up pretty nice too. If you like to do pinch harmonics, tapped harmonics, or my fave, Touching the side of your picking hand ring finger as you pick a note (you get some WILD squeals), this is THE pickup.
    It's a Syemour. Need I say more?
    Seymours are a little more expensive than Dimarzios, but after using both brands, I find them to be superior.

    I enjoy Seymour Duncan products but I thought the JB Junior was a muddy humbucker. It tended to lack tone with no clarity in the midrange. I was disappointed.

        Comments about Seymour Duncan JB Jr Pickup:

        This pickup sounds amazing!!
        Upgraded both the neck and bridge pickups on my MIM Stratocaster to a set of JB Jr's...

        Others have said that these pickups are overly trebly and that is simply not the case..
        Seymour Duncan recommends switching your tone caps from the stock .022uf to .047uf which will tame the highs quite nicely..

        I went with no-load pots to allow me to take the tone circuit out of the mix if I so want, and I still find that they sound incredible..

        You can't go wrong with a Seymour Duncan product..

        Comments about Seymour Duncan JB Jr Pickup:

        So, I needed a good pickup in the bridge position of my strat and after thinking about routing out my bridge pickup..... I stopped and decided to pick this baby up.... This adds a nice warm tone to the guitar and is very hot....... ever since putting this pickup in my guitar, I cant put it down. It is very beefy just the way I love it.... If you are into punk, rock, hard rock, metal, and even jazz this pickup can do it all. I put in my mim surf green strat it works so well

        3 YEARS STRONG

        By Rebelyell009

        from Motor City

        Comments about Seymour Duncan JB Jr Pickup:

        I bought this 3 years ago and stuck it in my old Martin Stinger ST2. I was amazed how clear it sounded on clean and dirty channels , but the output was lower than I expected. So I played on. A month ago my Martin finally died and wasnt worth rewiring , plus , it weighs a 100 pounds because of the plywood body. I took out my pups and wired them into a Silvertone project that had some new 500k pots installed 6 months before. To my amazement , the output that was missing had shown up!!! This pup is strong through true 500k pots . I dont use heavy distorion , just clip off the top with a classic DOD 250 O/D pedal. Its works great with that. Man what a difference. Just keeps gettin' better ! P.S. Forget the hype. This pick up does exactly what it is designed to do. No more/No less... Try one

        JB Jr. great pickup

        By Vern-m4Emb

        from Belle Plaine, MN

        Comments about Seymour Duncan JB Jr Pickup:

        I love this pickup, use it in the bridge of my american std strat. I have it coil-tapped with a pull pot on my volume knob. Sounds similar to a 498T but not so nasally. Cleans up nice when you back down your volume knob, that may because of the value of the volume pot anyways highly recommend it for any hard rock application.

        Resurrect an old axe

        By JT

        from Miami Springs, Florida

        Ask me a question

        Comments about Seymour Duncan JB Jr Pickup:

        I put a JB Jr. in the bridge of my Hamer USA dual cut about 5 or 6 years ago and it improved the sound tremendously. But recently my slide guitar suffered an accident and I needed to press my Hamer into service. I added another pair of JB Jr's and what a difference that made, so now there are 3 JB Jr's on this axe and it sounds incredible through my Marshall Mode Four full stack. The middle position screams. Clean or crunch mode is outrageous. Great for slide guitarists.

        Good for strat sound

        By Nodie

        from Denver

        Comments about Seymour Duncan JB Jr Pickup:

        I put this in my Squire a few years ago. Sure it doesn't make as much noise as the original which was horrible. I was trying to get something to make my guitar have a heavier sound but it just didn't cut it. It sounds like a single coil. If you want heavy sound do what I did and get an ibanez, schecter or esp with emg's in it. if you want a good strat sound buy this.

        Great Pickup

        By Anonymous

        from Undisclosed

        Comments about Seymour Duncan JB Jr Pickup:

        I have had this intalled as a replacement on my '57 Strat for some time now. I recently purchased a lap steel and wanted a hotter pickup. I put my old '57 back to stock and popped this little jewel into the lap steel. Wow. I knew it was hot in the Strat, but hearing it in this guitar blew me away all over again. Great product, Seymour...

        from sumthin stinks here

        Comments about Seymour Duncan JB Jr Pickup:

        I was given an 80's Shadow with a JB in the bridge, a twin rail in the middle and a JB Jr. in the neck. The JB Jr. has some balls!! Nice punchy sound. Reacts very well with the volume pot on your guitar. I DO recommend!!!
