Seymour Duncan Set SH-4/SH-2 50th Anniversary Blk

Description

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 tone, but the story began years earlier in a London workshop, where Seymour was crafting pickups for the most influential rock musicians. Among his greatest achievements was a groundbreaking humbucker set that would become the foundation for countless iconic recordings. Now, as we celebrate 50 years of innovation and craftsmanship, we honor that legacy with something truly special: the limited edition 50th Anniversary JB / Jazz Humbucker pickup set.
These aren’t just commemorative pickups. They are the benchmark pairing that has defined versatile guitar tone for generations, now crafted to the exact specifications of our earliest production models. By the time the JB officially went into production, the basic recipe was already set, but those early models used butyrate bobbins, long-legged baseplates, single-conductor wire, maple spacers, and rough-cast Alnico V magnets. Over time, practical updates were added to improve consistency and flexibility, such as modern bobbin materials that better withstand wax potting, precisely ground Alnico V magnets, and short legs. The current standard production JB / Jazz delivers that same legendary tone with these modern refinements. This special 50th Anniversary set faithfully recreates the original vintage component design, while still retaining the familiar JB and Jazz tone that players already trust, with the legendary clarity and dynamics that earned the pairing its status as an industry standard. Whether you’re cutting tracks at home or gigging everything from blues to hard rock at the club, this is the proven tone that does it all with no compromise.
