Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together in the same guitar?
Yes. The SJM-2N neck pickup is reverse wound/reverse polarity (RW/RP) specifically designed to pair with the SJM-2B bridge pickup to create a humbucking effect and reduce hum when both are installed together.
What's the main tonal difference between these two pickups?
The SJM-2N emphasizes upper midrange and articulation with a presence-forward EQ (8 Bass / 4 Mid / 5 Treble), while the SJM-2B offers boosted bass and lower-mid presence for a warmer, fuller tone with greater sustain.
Which pickup is better for jazz?
The SJM-2B bridge pickup is specifically listed as ideal for jazz and pairs well with rosewood fingerboards. However, if using a matched neck-and-bridge set, the SJM-2N neck version will complement it with its articulate response for chord voicings.
Do these pickups include covers?
No, neither the SJM-2N nor the SJM-2B includes a pickup cover. Both are direct replacements for standard Jazzmaster pickups.
