The humbucker is our most popular pickup of all time. Blues, Country, Fusion, Punk, Hard Rock, Grunge, Thrash; the JB has always sounded spot on even as new genres have sprung up around it. 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, voice-like quality when playing single notes or solos. Meanwhile, the hot output pushes your amp just a tad harder for more sustain and harmonics.

Use with a 500k volume pot for great high end cut, or try a 250k pot to sweeten the tone and soften for smoother styles. It pairs particularly well with the jazz it? 59 neck pickups, and some players even like to use a JB in the neck position for an extra fat solo tone.


The SH is easily one of the most popular replacement pickups in the world. The SH4 offers the exact sound that many guitarists wish for, especially from the bridge position or in combination with a slightly more restrained neck pickup: high output with many overtones, melodious, and perfect in the middle frequency range

Hand built in South Korea 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. The legendary JB Model has been the ultimate hot-rodded humbucker.
