The JB Model humbucker has earned its place as a true classic, consistently delivering the perfect tone across a wide range of music genres. Whether it's blues, country, fusion, punk, hard rock, grunge, or thrash, the JB has a way of fitting right in, adapting effortlessly as new styles emerge.
This pickup offers a powerful low end, crisp and detailed highs, and an upper-midrange boost that gives heavy chords that extra crunch while also providing single notes and solos with a rich, vocal-like quality. The hot output adds just the right amount of push to your amp, enhancing sustain and harmonics for a more dynamic sound.
For versatile tone shaping, pair it with a 500k volume pot for sharp, cutting highs, or use a 250k pot to mellow out the sound for smoother genres. It pairs beautifully with Jazz or ’59 neck pickups, and some players even choose the JB for the neck position to achieve a thicker solo tone.
Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, CA, the JB Model features an Alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for various wiring setups, and is vacuum wax potted to eliminate squeal.
Available in Trembucker spacing for 6-string guitars.
