Seymour Duncan JB Jr. Tele Bridge Pickup

Seymour Duncan JB Jr. Tele Bridge Pickup

The JB Jr. delivers aggressive, articulate punch in a single-coil footprint—a rare combination that lets Telecaster players access genuine humbucker aggression without routing or modification. Built for gigging musicians who need more sustain and reduced noise while keeping their Tele's original character intact, this pickup bridges the gap between classic Tele snap and modern high-output clarity for reliable stage performance.

Tone & Output Characteristics

Rated at 16.28k ohms output, this pickup sits in the high-output sweet spot—hot enough for crunch and lead work, yet controlled enough to remain articulate and clear on a live stage. The ceramic magnet delivers punchy midrange and extended high-end presence, while the vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal and feedback for road-ready reliability and consistent tone night after night.

Design & Wiring Flexibility

Built as a single-coil-sized side-by-side humbucker, this pickup installs directly into standard Telecaster bridge single-coil routs with no modification required. The 4-conductor lead wire enables series, parallel, and split-coil wiring options, giving you tonal flexibility to dial in anything from thick humbucker character to articulate single-coil splitting depending on your switching configuration.
