I love this pickup, use it in the bridge of my american std strat. I have it coil-tapped with a pull pot on my volume knob. Sounds similar to a 498T but not so nasally. Cleans up nice when you back down your volume knob, that may because of the value of the volume pot anyways highly recommend it for any hard rock application.

I put a JB Jr. in the bridge of my Hamer USA dual cut about 5 or 6 years ago and it improved the sound tremendously. But recently my slide guitar suffered an accident and I needed to press my Hamer into service. I added another pair of JB Jr's and what a difference that made, so now there are 3 JB Jr's on this axe and it sounds incredible through my Marshall Mode Four full stack. The middle position screams. Clean or crunch mode is outrageous. Great for slide guitarists.

I put this in my Squire a few years ago. Sure it doesn't make as much noise as the original which was horrible. I was trying to get something to make my guitar have a heavier sound but it just didn't cut it. It sounds like a single coil. If you want heavy sound do what I did and get an ibanez, schecter or esp with emg's in it. if you want a good strat sound buy this.

I have had this intalled as a replacement on my '57 Strat for some time now. I recently purchased a lap steel and wanted a hotter pickup. I put my old '57 back to stock and popped this little jewel into the lap steel. Wow. I knew it was hot in the Strat, but hearing it in this guitar blew me away all over again. Great product, Seymour...

I was given an 80's Shadow with a JB in the bridge, a twin rail in the middle and a JB Jr. in the neck. The JB Jr. has some balls!! Nice punchy sound. Reacts very well with the volume pot on your guitar. I DO recommend!!!
