Seymour Duncan created the JB and Jazz Model—pickups for London's rock royalty—years before he and Cathy Carter Duncan started Seymour Duncan Research Labs. When the new company added production pickups to its menu of custom services, of course the Jazz was among the first offerings.
Today they wind the Jazz exactly the same as in the early years, but with modern updates for today's guitarists, like four-conductor lead wire, sand-cast magnets, polycarbonate bobbins (which can better handle their vacuum wax-potting process), and short-legged bottom plates.
For a limited time—one year only—Seymour Duncan is proud to offer this 35th Anniversary Commemorative Jazz pickup. Like the earliest production Jazz, this special Commemorative pickup has single-conductor wire, rough-cast magnets, butyrate bobbins, and long-legged bottom plates featuring a special laser-engraved 35th Anniversary logo.
Construction: Plain enamel wire, butyrate bobbins, rough-cast Alnico V bar magnets, long-legged bottom plates, and vintage single conductor hook-up wire.
Sound: Rich harmonics, great sustain, smooth distortion, and clarity.
Includes:
Long Mounting Legs
Single Conductor Wire
Maple Spacer
Butyrate Bobbins
Rough Cast Alnico V Bar
For: Connoisseurs of the best of the historic Seymour Duncan sounds.
Instrument: Dual-humbucker guitars.
