Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz Hot Rodded Humbucker Set - Electric Guitar Pickups, Perfect for Blues, Rock, Country, and Metal - Toxic Yellow

Used these on a jackson rrv. Turned it into a metal machine

Dropped these in to rebuild a free guitar given to me by neighbor, very pleased with the output from these pickups, great warm low tones, and after a little research not very hard to install, if you are comfortable with soldering low voltage wires. These have deffinatley transformed this non working paperweight, into a functioning instrument.

These pickups are great! Fantastic upgrade from stock epiphone pickups. Will put these in all my epiphone les Paul's.

As I get older I find that I'm hearing more and more subtleties in my guitars. I'm also starting to notice that some of the very popular pickups don't sound all that great to me. For example, for Christmas my wife bought me a second-hand PRS SE Zack Myers guitar that had been upgraded with Gibson Classic '57 pickups. Now, these pickups are legendary, right? But to my ear they sounded muddy and totally 'blah'. I'm not that good a player so I was starting to wonder if I just had a 'tin ear'.After reading a lot of reviews and listening to scores of sound clips online I took a chance and purchased these SD pickups. They arrived with Amazon's usual speed on a day when I actually had some time to install them. The PRS doesn't have coil splitting but the directions were easy to follow and I quickly had the installation completed. I was proud of my neat soldering and the way I tied-off all the wiring so it looked tidy. I closed everything up, restrung the guitar and plugged it in.All I can say is .... WOW!!! No muddiness here, my friend! Nice, fat Jazzy tone from the neck and an equally 'hot' tone from the JB on the bridge. This set of pups totally changed the character of the guitar. It's like a different instrument. I love it.So, if you're on the fence by all means give these pickups a try. You won't be disappointed.

I had a Schecter C-1 with EMG X Series active pickups. I decided to put passive pickups and sold the EMGs on Ebay.For $130 you can't go wrong. All I had to do was install a mono jack and I used copper foil tape because the guitar did not have a hole for the ground that goes to the bridge. So I just took the ground wire and soldered it to some copper foil in the battery compartment. I don't have the luxury of turning an amp loud cause I live in an apartment, but I can assure you the sustain is pretty good.These pickups are good for metal and probably heavy blues. But like any high output pickups you can coil tap these or turn down the volume and play some very nice clean tones.Also what I noticed was that pickups that are not covered with a plate have a better sound. I hear more clarity. I simply never buy plated pickups, they cost more and I like the picking sound of my pick when it hits the strings. As I said earlier I have to play at lower volumes in my apartment.Glad I bought these. And remember you cannot judge Seymour Duncan pickups by just one kind, they all have there own outputs. So make sure you really check them out so you don't get disappointed. I had a Schecter Solo 6 with the Seymour Duncan SH-11 and '59. they were alright pickups but they did not have the output and clarity that these pickups have. Also they were plated. So be sure to check out how each pickup works and don't judge one set if you have not heard any of the others, common sense.

HSH Custom Strat amazing sound , a lot of $$ for them but when played you will be happy.

Nice nice nice sound. I did all my own wiring. In total, this full setup with pickups and tuners and Babicz bridge and a few other tweaks took 16 hours. I lined the pockets with foil tape and installed a frame tuner as well as new pots and bridge. And I made an error that had to be fixed. This was a full setup. If it was just the pickups and wiring it would have been around 4 hours maybe less with standard wiring.I used the Jimmy Page style diagram from the SD website. It is complicated but the results are outstanding. There are so many sound styles available in this setup now!I used a standard soldering iron with silver solder. I used 22AWG stranded 600v teflon insulated wire. I used Bourns split top short 500k push/pull pots, a Musiclily 3 way toggle and a Dimarzio jack. Finally, I used a pair of .047uf 200v orange drop capacitors. All of which I bought here on Amazon. I've done 3 wiring jobs before. Solder is not that difficult and neither is following the diagram. As long as you aren't shorting out a connection (which I did and took 3 hours to find and fix) the result is awesome.

I love these pickups. They can get various sounds and were very easy to install. I think they are worth there price and then some.
