Seymour Duncan Set of 50th Anniversary JB/Jazz Limited Edition Humbucker Electric Guitar Pickups, Black
50th Anniversary Limited Edition JB / Jazz Humbucker Set
Half a century of legendary tone starts here. In 1976, Seymour Duncan officially launched the company that would revolutionize electric guitar sound, but the story began years earlier in a London workshop where Seymour crafted pickups for rock’s most influential players. Among his greatest achievements was a revolutionary humbucker set that would become the foundation of countless iconic recordings. Now, as we celebrate 50 years of innovation and craftsmanship, we’re honoring that legacy with something truly special: the 50th Anniversary Limited Edition JB / Jazz Humbucker Set.
These aren’t just commemorative pickups. They’re the benchmark combination that has defined versatile guitar tone for generations, now crafted with the exact vintage-correct specifications of our earliest production models. When the JB officially went into production, the basic recipe was already set, but those earliest models used butyrate bobbins, long-legged baseplates, single-conductor cable, maple spacers, and rough-cast Alnico V magnets. Over time, practical updates were added for consistency and flexibility, such as modern bobbin materials that better handle vacuum wax potting, precision-ground Alnico V magnets, and short legs. Today’s standard production JB / Jazz delivers that same legendary tone with these modern refinements. This special 50th Anniversary set faithfully recreates the original vintage-correct component blueprint while preserving the familiar JB and Jazz voice players already trust, with the legendary clarity and dynamics that earned the combo its status as the industry standard. Whether you’re tracking sessions at home or covering everything from blues to hard rock at the club, this is the proven tone that does it all without compromise.
