Seymour Hot Rodded Humbucker Set.
Seymour created this classic humbucker combination while in England in 1974, and it remains his favorite today: an SH-4 JB for the bridge and SH-2n Jazz Model for the neck. Together they provide one of the most versatile humbucker combinations available.
The JB owes its popularity to over-wound coils, which provide high output with just the right amount of sustain and distortion–perfect for searing leads. Seymour matched the JB with a Jazz Model in the neck for calibrated output and a clear, bright sound–perfect for articulate rhythm playing. This set is great for everything from hard blues to heavy rock. It comes with four-conductor cable for trick switching options. A wiring diagram and mounting hardware are included.
The JB is designed for bridges with traditional string spacing of 1.925" or 48.9mm measured over the bridge pickup.

“I purchased this set a little over a year ago and had them installed in my Epi Les Paul Plus Top. The sound is absolutely amazing. The versatility of these pickups makes for endless possibilities. The jazz pickup offers smooth clarity and killer solo capability, with distortion and without. The JB offers scorching leads and raw power rhythm. Many studio musicians and mainstream artists rock this pickup combo. I have been playing all sorts of genres for 25 years. This is all you need. These pickups have transformed my Epi LP into an amazing instrument. My epi is now my guitar of choice because of these pickups. They sound amazing live and in the studio. You won't be disappointed!” Donald Izzo
“These are my first duncans but im going to definately get more for my other les pauls. Great buy, sound, and build. these pickups are excellent in the ease of installation aspect. 5 wire leads along with the wiring diagram was pretty sweet, and if you are into having a lot of variation, the duncan website features a huge archive of wiring diagrams for virtually any configuration. I only wish they included covers on the pickups. Duncan pickups are some of the best pickups for a mahogany bodied guitar. I prefer them to gibson pickups just do the the supported midtones. I replaced the stock gibson pickups in my les paul and it really boosted my favorite aspects of the guitar; it had plenty of bass naturally but boosted the mids and highs…” Dan N.
“Man oh man, I just dropped these in my Eppy Les Paul Standard…what an
upgrade! I super-love the versatility of this set! The original stock pick-ups
on my guitar were kinda muddy, and only suited for metal, rock, and maybe a
little blues.
These new Duncan pick ups sound fantastic clean, very nice for blues/jazz and
heavy/classic rock also. The tone is clear, and well defined, and pairs very
well with my Les Paul's mahogany body. I am very pleased with these pick-ups
and recommend them highly! Thanks Seymour Duncan” Senor~ Rock-Aloto
