Application
The archetype hot-rodded humbucker for over 30 years. Great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal.
Description
The world's most popular humbucker. Provides slammin' output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and just the right blend of sustain and distortion.

Comes with four-conductor hookup cable.
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.
