Incredible! Awesome pickup
This model is the most used replacement humbucker in the world for a reason! Provides tight, punchy lows, warm midrange and extremely crisp, well defined highs. If you like Hard Rock or more traditional Metal this is a must have! If you like some of the more alternative styles of Metal where you pound out power chords as fast as you can and get that muddy sound people scream to this is not for you. It will expose your skills! If the guitar you are putting this into is already somewhat bright sounding again I would look at another model pup. For guitars made with woods that create a lower range naturally this is for you! I put it in an ESP Mystique in the bridge of course along with a Duncan SH1 '59 PAF in the neck and it sounds like a dream now! The JB was Mr. Duncan's favorite pickup of all time. He built the first one over 40 years ago for Jeff Beck to try and he loved it. If your guitar has a mahogany body, mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard like the Mystique, whoa! I've used most famous humbuckers ever made, Dimmarzio's, custom made PRS Dragons, EMG's, and various other Duncan's as well. Even played the famous EVH Wolfgang guitar for a few years with two of the famous EVH Wolfgang Humbuckers in it and I can honestly say this sounds every bit as good and even crisper highs IMO for less than half the price! The harmonics you can nail with ease and has fantastic sustain as well. Great for rhythm and lead as well. This pickup has been used and is still used by many famous guitarists and for some of the most famous solos ever. Jeff Beck, Warren DeMartini, Dave Mustaine, Joe Satriani and that ever so challenging Bark At The Moon played by Jake E. Lee himself using this pup. I Remember You by Skid Row, that famously beautiful solo, yep uses the JB. Many more artists than I could possibly remember. It's the most widely used bridge humbucker on Jackson's Soloist series guitars as well. Sounds great clean as well. Very versatile as well for most genres of music so you won't have to switch guitars very often while playing live. I mostly play Hard Rock and Traditional Metal. AC/DC, Aerosmith, GNR, Skid Row, Ratt, Def Leppard, Pantera, Ozzy, Metallica, Eagles, Dokken, DIO, Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat, Bullet For My Valentine, Megadeth... This pup on the right guitar can nail anything along this style of music plus so much more! If you play Death Metal and some of those muddier darker sounding Metal spin offs where you like to scoop the mids this is not for you. If you like what you've just read do not hesitate to buy. I'm gonna swap a few more bridge humbuckers out with this model. Not recommended for use in the neck position.

Time to Rock and Roll !
Excellent! Upgrade for my vintage Ibanez. Trembucker poles are perfectly spaced for the FR trem. The sound is of course greatly improved. There’s good reason why the JB is so popular. SD has a professional support team that made my first install easy. Big improvement for not much money.

Myt go to Pickup!
I have at least 5 guitars I have retro-fitted with a Seymore JB. It's my perfect pickup. I love the sound and tone, it's replaced the bridge pickup in my EVH 5150, my PRS custom 24, Gibson NS-224, Gibson Explorer, and my FMT Strat. You cant go wrong with this one!

Exactly the sound I was looking for!
This Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB was the perfect finishing touch my Donner project guitar I bought a $150 Donner HSS "Seeker Series" about a month ago. Thought I’d roll the dice. I knew when I picked it up and played it that it was a diamond in the rough. It needed several upgrades and a bit of set up work. New Hipshot staggered Locking tuners and synchronized trem system took care of the tuning stability. I kept the stock single coils but the stock bridge humbucker was just tolerable and not very inspiring. I chose this Duncan humbcker because I knew it was responsible for so many of the great Super Strat sounds I have heard growing up trough the late seventies and eighties Plugged it straight into my Stage Right 50 watt tube amp ( no pedals ) and Wow what an amazing sound! This is the first time I have heard the tubes driven so well without the need of a pedal. I have an HSS Fender Strat,, while the stock pickups sound great on that guitar, I'm already planning to swap out the stock bridge humbucker for another Duncan JB. Absolutely love the sound of this pick up!

Great overall pickup
I bought this pup for my frankenstrat build and WOW!!! Glad I finally pulled the trigger on a JB I have an EVH PAF clone in my kramer and the wolfgang neck and bridge pariah's (which sound great btw) in my wolfgang and the JB is my favorite out of those. Great lead tones that sustain well and don't immediately start to fade off when playing high up on the neck. The bottom end isn't super deep but it does pack a punch especially with a good crunchy tone from your amp. This pup isn't super hi gain and that what i love about it. It doesn't sound thin at all. Very clear tone. You have to put a little more effort into your pinch harmonics compared to a higher gain pup but not much more. I wired it up with a north coil split and the split sounds amazing as well for being a split humbucker. Overall great pup. This is a great sounding pup and I understand why it has lasted the test of time.

I have a cheap Yamaha ERG-121C, which in terms of body and build is OK but sounded horrible. Was thinking of buying a proper guitar, but decided to give it a go with replacing the bridge pickup which was loud and terrible. And wow, it just came to life sounding soooo good - I am not buying another guitar! I would say this is the classic indie sound that you get from Tele or perhaps Jaguar/Jazzmaster, just beautiful.

Acquistato per sostituire l'Humbucker di serie della mia Fender Player configurazione pickup HSS con ponte Floyd Rose. E' un ottimo pickup che si abbina bene ai 2 single coil della Fender. Non c'e' assolutamente nessun squilibrio di suono data la natura mista dei pickup percio' su questa Stratocaster calza a pennello. E' un Ottimo Humbucker con cui ci suoni un po' di tutto e comunque il Web ne e' pieno si recensioni finemente dettagliate. Io ci faccio dal Blues al Rock all'Hard Rock senza problemi e lo reputo uno dei miglior Humbucker su cui e' difficile non essere soddisfatti. La questione pickup si sa, non e' semplice da gestire, in ballo ci sono tante variabili, il tipo di chitarra, i legni usati nella costruzione e non per ultimo ovviamente il genere musicale che si abbraccia, ma con questo Humbucker di norma ci si fa un po' di tutto percio' e' comunque un buon acquisto dato anche dal prezzo di Euro 89,41 pagato a Gennaio 2021. Sono pienamente soddisfatto e penso anche la mia chitarra che ne fa bella mostra in foto.. 😉
