Duncan’s JB and Jazz: The Classic Hard Rock Duo
Comprising a JB Model at the bridge and a Jazz Model at the neck, Seymour Duncan’s Hot-rodded Humbucker Set delivers the definitive hard rock tone. You know, that sound — the one countless guitarists have chased since the early days of metal. The JB Model’s full low end, articulate highs, and scorching upper midrange translate to chunky power chords and singing leads, while its red-hot output pushes your amplifier into glorious harmonic-laden grit with truckloads of sustain. The Jazz Model is full and bright with smooth sustain — the perfect choice for fast runs and neck-position leads, as well as for clean rhythm playing. Furthermore, both humbuckers house an Alnico V bar magnet and nickel-silver bottom plate, along with 4-conductor wiring for added flexibility and vacuum wax potting for squeal-free operation. Here at Sweetwater, we’ve found that these high-octane pickups give you plenty of punch and serious bite — just what you need to transform your next heavy metal escapade into an absolute nonstop thrill ride.
