Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Bridge & SH-1 59 Neck GOLD Humbucker Pickup Set - NEW
SH-4 JB Bridge
Summary
For nearly four decades, the legendary JB Model has been the ultimate
hot-rodded humbucker. A truly modern classic.
Description
The JB Model humbucker is our most popular pickup of all time. Blues, country,
fusion, punk, hard rock, grunge, thrash; the JB has always sounded just right,
even as new genres emerged 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, vocal-like
quality when you play single notes or solos. Meanwhile the hot output pushes
your amp just that little bit harder for more sustain and harmonics. 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.
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.

Summary
A vintage-voiced, extremely versatile neck pickup that pairs well with most
bridge humbuckers.
Description
The ’59 Model neck pickup is one of our most popular pickups because it’s so
versatile. It’s designed in the spirit of the original P.A.F. humbuckers of the
1950s, with sweet sustain, full-sounding chords, clear and bright attack, but
we’ve made a few refinements to slightly modernize the design and make it more
adaptable to different styles.
The ’59 has a full low end which is great for adding character to your clean
sounds and sustain to your leads. The high end is slightly boosted for improved
pick-attack clarity and the mids are a little scooped for an open, smooth sound
that’s great for preserving the clarity of the individual notes in a chord.
Play softly and the mids and highs seem to fade back, but pick hard and the
note will be confident and clear. There isn’t a genre that the ’59 can’t work
within. It pairs nicely with a high output bridge humbucker like the JB or
Custom but is equally at home with more moderate pickups like the ’59 bridge.
And it’s a popular choice for those with humbucker-routed Telecasters as well.
And if you order a four-conductor version for coil splitting, its single coil
mode is crystal clear.
The ’59 Model neck pickup is wound on Seymour’s Leesona 102 pickup winding
machine, the very one that was used in the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI in
the 1950s. It comes standard with a long-legged nickel silver bottom plate,
vintage single conductor braided push back lead wire and no logo.
