A reference since 1974 in the Seymour Duncan range
Born in England in 1974, the combination of the JB in the bridge position and the Jazz Model in the neck position has become a standard for guitarists seeking a versatile set without compromise between power and precision. This kit reprises this iconic formula in a black finish, fitting equally well on a modern guitar or an instrument with a more classic look.
For whom and for what: from rock grit to nuanced playing
The JB/Jazz set is aimed at musicians who alternate between powerful rhythms and more delicate passages, with a constant need for clarity. On the bridge, the JB provides the impact and presence necessary to cut through the mix, while maintaining generous sustain. On the neck, the Jazz Model retains definition in chords and precise articulation for fast runs, without muddiness in the lows.
Wiring customization and compatibility
Each humbucker is designed to offer great mounting flexibility, notably thanks to wiring that allows coil splitting to expand the tonal palette (clearer, more "single-coil" sounds). Note: the JB pickup in this set is designed for traditional string spacing, an important point if you want optimal alignment under the strings on a vintage standard bridge.
