Description
The Seymour Duncan SJM Vintage set gives Jazzmaster players the real deal: an SJM-1n neck pickup and SJM-1b bridge pickup built to match the original 1957 design in every way that matters, and plenty that most players never even notice. Cloth-covered wire leads, hand-ground pole pieces, period-correct construction — Seymour Duncan didn’t cut corners chasing a vintage vibe, they just rebuilt the thing properly.
Tonally, that means the airy, jangly top end and woody midrange that made Jazzmasters a surf and indie staple, with enough clarity to stay articulate under a chorus pedal or a wall of reverb. The neck pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity relative to the bridge, so running both together in the middle position cancels hum instead of stacking it — a detail original Jazzmasters got right and this set preserves.
Installation is straightforward: these are direct replacements requiring no routing, drilling, or modification to your guitar. A wiring diagram and mounting hardware are included, so swapping out tired stock pickups is an afternoon job, not a project.
This bundle pairs the pickup set with Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings, giving you fresh strings to break in alongside your new pickups — useful if you’re doing a full setup while the guitar’s already open on the bench.
