Seymour Duncan SJM-2N Hot Neck Pickup For Jazzmaster
The SJM-2N Hot Jazzmaster Neck Pickup delivers a punchy, articulate character that cuts through without sacrificing warmth in the neck position. Built with Alnico V rod magnets and reverse wind/reverse polarity construction, this pickup pairs aggressive output with controlled dynamics—ideal for players seeking clarity and definition for lead work and chord voicings that hold their own on stage.
Tone & Output Character
With a DC resistance of 10.95 kΩ and a resonant peak at 6.5 KHz, the SJM-2N produces a presence-forward response that emphasizes upper-midrange articulation. The EQ profile (8 Bass / 4 Mid / 5 Treble) maintains solid low-end body while prioritizing snap and definition, making it responsive to both clean and overdriven tones in live settings and studio recording alike.
Design & Winding
The Alnico V rod magnet construction and reverse wind/reverse polarity (RW/RP) winding configuration minimize hum while maximizing signal clarity—essential for reliable performance in any venue. The single conductor PVC cable provides straightforward, reliable installation in standard Jazzmaster neck cavities.
