Seymour Duncan Pickups - It's all about the tone!

Seymour Duncan's JB Jr. SJBJ-1 packages the tone of Duncan's hugely successful JB humbucker into a single-coil-sized pickup. The polepieces are adjustable, allowing it to more closely emulate the magnetic field of a full-size humbucker along with controlling the string-to-string balance. While not as hot as Duncan's Hot Rails, the high-end response has been enhanced on the JB Jr. SJBJ-1. Strat players - with no modification to the instrument - can reap the benefits of a high-output humbucker with the JB Jr. SJBJ-1.

Seymour Duncan JB Jr. SJBJ-1 at a Glance:
  • Sound
  • Complete setup

Sound
The JB Jr. SJBJ-1 high output single-coil-size "rails" humbucker is great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal. The twin-coil design gives you the character of our popular JB model humbucker in a single-coil size. Its adjustable pole pieces more closely emulate the magnetic field of a full size humbucker and allow you to fine tune the balance of your strings. You can expect great harmonics and a sweet high-end. Compared to Hot Rails, the output is reduced and there's more treble response, and the JB Jr. SJBJ-1 comes with four-conductor hookup cable to facilitate complex switching options. USA Patent No. Des. 355,207.

Complete setup
Available for both bridge and neck/middle positions, the JB Jr. SJBJ-1 is perfect for all well-balanced instruments. Its tonal character works equally well with maple and rosewood fingerboards.

Reviews

Excellent choice to fatten up your tone!
I purchased this to replace the stock bridge pickup in my PRS Silver Sky. It was a direct drop in. The stock was harsh on the higher frequencies and thin sounding. I wanted a higher output with a bit fatter sound with rolled off highs. This pickup achieved it all for me. Now I can get some nice rock and even metal tones with the Silver Sky. It made the guitar more well rounded in my opinion.

Happy happy
Popped this bad boy into the bridge position of my Squier 70s Vintage Modified Strat and I could not be happier. Great tones for blues to metal. Just a little grit or serious gain, this thing sounds fantastic. And as always, world class support and handling of the order by Sweetwater. Happy happy.
Music background: Singer and guitar player.
Awesome!
Very easy to install. I've never installed a pickup before, and I had to study this one for a while, but I was able to do it. Dropped right into my Mexi-Strat, no problem.

Very nice sound. Total game changer, in terms of my playing style. Now I can ROCK!

I am 100% satisfied with this pickup.
Fattened my Strat
Replaced the single coil in a '96 USA strat with this, immediate improvement. Easy install and high quality.
Music background: I like to play
Excellent choice for both humbucker and single coil
Meaty, harmonic, focused med-high output humbucker. Put a coil splitter on it in the bridge position and it becomes a surprisingly nice and singing single coil as well.
