Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Model Bridge Humbucker Pickup Black | High Output for Rock & Blues

• 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. Available in standard humbucker and Trembucker spacing for 6-String, as well as passive mount 7-String options.
• DCR Bridge: 16.60, Magnet: Alnico 5, 4c Shielded Cable

• Prepare for Installation — Ensure your guitar is routed for a standard humbucker pickup. Gather necessary tools: soldering iron, solder, wire strippers, screwdrivers, and a multimeter. Disconnect the guitar's battery if active electronics are present.
• Wire the Pickup — Connect the 4-conductor shielded wire according to your desired wiring scheme (series, parallel, or split coil). Typically, the hot wire goes to the switch, ground wires to volume pot/ground, and the shield to ground. Consult wiring diagrams for specific configurations.
• Mount and Test — Secure the pickup in the bridge position using the provided mounting screws and springs. Adjust pickup height for optimal tone and output. Reconnect the guitar's battery if applicable, then test all pickup selections and controls.
