Description
If you love the JB’s aggressive midrange bark but your Strat’s routing won’t budge, the JB Jr solves that problem outright. It’s a rail-style twin-coil humbucker built into single-coil dimensions, so it drops straight into a standard bridge slot without any surgery.
Under the hood, adjustable pole pieces do a lot of heavy lifting – they shape the magnetic field to behave more like a full-size humbucker, letting you dial in string-to-string balance rather than accepting whatever the rail gives you. The payoff is a pickup that stays articulate under gain, with harmonics that bloom instead of collapse and a high end that stays sweet rather than icy.
Set it next to a Hot Rails and the difference is immediate: output backs off a touch while treble presence steps forward, making the JB Jr the pick for players who want humbucker push without burying the guitar’s natural brightness. Blues-rock crunch, classic rock leads, even heavier metal riffing all sit comfortably in its wheelhouse.
Ships wired with four-conductor cable, so coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring tricks are on the table if you want to get creative. Covered under USA Patent No. Des. 355,207.
