The Seymour Duncan SJM-1 Vintage Jazzmaster Bridge pickup. FREE shipping in the USA!
Application Vintage correct single-coil Jazzmaster® pickup. Recommended for country, pop, surf, blues, jazz and classic rock.
Description Introduced in 1957 to provide a mellow sound for jazz players, surf guitarists were soon using this cool guitar and pickup combination. Every detail in sound, construction and appearance is faithfully duplicated in this vintage pickup. Output is moderate; and mids and highs are boosted. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable. Does not include a cover.
Complete setup Available in a matched neck and bridge set. The neck version is reverse wound/reverse polarity (RW/RP) to create a humbucking effect when used together with the bridge model.
Guitars For warmer toned ash, alder or basswood body instruments. Works especially well with rosewood fingerboards.
About the Guitars: We used all brand new medium-weight Japanese-made instruments with basswood bodies and rosewood boards and a fresh set of American Flyer 10-46 gauge strings. We kept the pickup-to-string heights consistent between each change of pickups.
About the Amps: We employed the "highest common denominator" philosophy in our amp selection. For clean tones, we used a silverface Fender Super Reverb with stock 4x10 "blue frame" speakers. We kept the Bright Switch "On" throughout. For crunch tones, we used a well-worn Marshall JCM 800 50 watt master volume head through a new Marshall 1960A Celestion®-loaded 4x12 cabinet. We plugged into the High output. With both amps we close miked straight-on with SM-57s through a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Mixer.
