Description
Loved for the way it turns a Tele into something meaner without losing its twang, the JB Jr. crams humbucker output into a single-coil footprint. Drop it into the bridge and you get the crunchy chord snap and searing lead tone the JB name is known for, minus any hum. That classic upper-midrange scoop keeps things from getting harsh, while a tight, controlled low end and bright harmonic sparkle on top keep chords defined even under heavy gain.
Put it in the neck instead and the JB Jr. shifts gears—big, bold, and punchy, equally at home behind fat rhythm work or thick, searing solos. Either way, the 4-conductor lead wire opens the door to parallel and split wiring schemes, so you can dial back the output for cleaner, single-coil-flavored tones when you want them. Since it’s built to single-coil dimensions, it’s a true drop-in replacement—no routing required.
- Ceramic magnet for high output and a snappy, aggressive edge
- 4-conductor lead wire for series, parallel, and split wiring options
- Wax potted to eliminate squeal at high gain
- Direct drop-in fit for standard single-coil pickup routes
- Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA
If you want humbucker muscle without giving up your Tele’s single-coil profile, the JB Jr. delivers it—hot, articulate, and ready to scream.
