Unleash Your Sound with the Seymour Duncan JB Model Bridge Humbucker Pickup - Black (SH-4)

---

Product Overview

• Color: Black

The Seymour Duncan JB Model SH-4 has earned its reputation as one of the most beloved and widely used pickups in the world. For over three decades, it has delivered the signature sound of a hot-rodded humbucker, providing powerful output without compromising on tonal clarity. This pickup is designed to deliver rich harmonics, impressive sustain, and just the right amount of distortion, making it ideal for genres ranging from heavy blues to heavy metal. However, don’t let its aggressive capabilities fool you—the SH-4 also excels in producing warm, smooth tones when needed.

Known as the archetype of hot-rodded humbuckers, the JB Model SH-4 offers a balanced mix of high output and articulate highs, alongside aggressive harmonics and the perfect blend of sustain and distortion. It transitions seamlessly from sweet, warm tones to raw rock ‘n’ roll energy. Compared to the SH-14 Custom 5, the JB provides a stronger treble detail, and many musicians find that pairing it with 250K pots can help to smooth out the higher frequencies. It comes equipped with a four-conductor hookup cable, allowing for versatile pickup switching configurations.

Primarily recommended for the bridge position, the JB Model SH-4 pairs beautifully with neck pickups such as the SH-2n Jazz for enhanced versatility or the SH-1 '59 for a classic P.A.F. tone. This pickup is particularly suited for warm and balanced instruments, thriving especially well with rosewood fingerboards. When it comes to tone, Seymour Duncan has devoted his career to perfecting the art of pickup design, ensuring that musicians find their perfect sound whether they lean toward modern metal or classic vintage tones.
