Jazz Guitar Humbucker – 5J

High fidelity, clarity, definition and articulation for your Jazz guitar

Price range: $205.00 through $250.00

Johnny Smith worked closely with Gibson to design full-bodied arch-top guitars, and we pay homage to that classic Jazz guitar sound with our own jazz pickup. The dual coil Johnny Smith (JS) humbucker gets a smooth, clear distinctive tone available with or without adjustable brackets for mounting to the end of your fretboard. The pickup body is less than 7/16” thick.
