Seymour Duncan SJBJ-1B JB Jr. Strat Bridge Pickup Cream Electric Guitar Pickup

General

Back in the day, you had to take a hammer and a chisel to the body of your Strat when you wanted to swap out the single-coil pickup for a humbucker, which is precisely what kept many guitarists from even considering modding their axe. Then, Seymour Duncan stepped in with the SJBJ-1B JB Jr. This bridge pickup is basically the single-coil-sized version of the JB SH4 humbucker and gives you the same legendary double-coil sound.

The SJBJ-1B JB Jr. Strat Bridge: Hot Rodded Humbucker in Single-Coil Form

For over 40 years, the Seymour Duncan JB SH4 has been the ultimate textbook example of a hot-rodded humbucker. The overwound design of the Alnico magnet results in a higher output, a characteristic mid-range boost, and tight basses. It's also perfect for pinch harmonics. If you want all of that without having to modify the body of the Strat, then the SJBJ-1B is your best bet.
