50th Anniversary JB/Jazz Humbucker Sets from Seymour Duncan
Half a century of legendary tone starts here. In 1976, Seymour Duncan officially launched the company that would revolutionise electric guitar sound, but the story began years earlier in a London workshop where Seymour crafted pickups for rock’s most influential players. Among his greatest achievements was a revolutionary humbucker set that would become the foundation of countless iconic recordings. Now, as we celebrate 50 years of innovation and craftsmanship, Seymour Duncan are honouring that legacy with something truly special: the 50th Anniversary Limited Edition JB/Jazz Humbucker Set.
These aren’t just commemorative pickups. They’re the benchmark combination that has defined versatile guitar tone for generations, now crafted with the exact vintage-correct specifications of our thier production models. When the JB officially went into production, the basic recipe was already set, but those earliest models used butyrate bobbins, long-legged baseplates, single-conductor cable, maple spacers, and rough-cast Alnico V magnets. Over time, practical updates were added for consistency and flexibility, such as modern bobbin materials that better handle vacuum wax potting, precision-ground Alnico V magnets, and short legs.
Today’s standard production JB/Jazz delivers that same legendary tone with these modern refinements. This special 50th Anniversary set faithfully recreates the original vintage-correct component blueprint while preserving the familiar JB and Jazz voice players already trust, with the legendary clarity and dynamics that earned the combo its status as the industry standard. Whether you’re tracking sessions at home or covering everything from blues to hard rock at the club, this is the proven tone that does it all without compromise.
For serious players ready to finish their number one guitar, this is your moment. The JB/Jazz combination remains one of Seymour Duncans best-selling humbucker sets because it simply works: rich harmonics, singing sustain, articulate clarity, and everything from warm neck cleans to aggressive bridge drive in one definitive package. Now you can own this iconic pairing in its most collectable form, built exactly as Seymour crafted them in our earliest years. The set arrives in limited edition silver packaging that echoes original artwork from the company’s founding era, while the bottom plate bears a commemorative 50th Anniversary logo.
