“The JB has been the go-to pickup for guitarists across countless genres”: Seymour Duncan has retooled its Jeff Beck-backed JB pickup – and it might be your next Tele mod

Seymour Duncan has retooled its famed JB humbucker for Telecasters, and it could be a game-changer for Telecaster players.

The pickup was first crafted in the 1970s in collaboration with Jeff Beck, hence its name. It was the firm's first-ever humbucker design and helped make the sound of his masterpiece record, Blow by Blow, so distinctive.
