what are these pickups ?

[graham1]

Hi, can anyone help me out? I've got a Patrick Eggle Berlin and have just checked out the pickups. The neck unit has JNJ on the sticker which I assume is the Jakk humbucker, however the bridge is JMBJ, which may or may not be a Jazz bridge. The real reason that I'm searching is that the bridge unit is really good for a warm, ballsy sound in a lightweight guitar and would suit my SG a treat.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks a million

The JNJ is, if I'm not mistaken, a Jazz neck wound by someone with a J for an initial. I have no clue as to the bridge.

Welcome to the forum!!

You have a Jazz Model Neck and Bridge Humbucker.

You have a Jazz bridge (JMB) and a Jazz neck (JN), both wound by MJ (the last letter 'J').

Thanks guys that really helped. In the UK the Jazz bridge is viewed as something of a mythical beast. I've got a couple of guitars with jazz's in the neck and JB's in the bridge, but very few this side of the pond have even heard of the jazz bridge.
I guess that that's why the Bridge works so well in a lightweight guitar!!!

Thanks again

Now who is MJ ????.............

The Jazz bridge is labeled JMB so it isn't confused with the JB, right?

Good theory, sufferinrewind.. The JB wound my MJ would be labelled JBJ though.

MJ runs the Custom Shop with Seymour now. Before the Custom Shop and before their current standard production process was put in place, she wound pickups herself that are in the standard production line. She's been with Seymour since the beginning and is a tone hero to many here, myself included.

Ya, and the pickup he has is labeled JMBJ. The Jazz Bridge has the same initials as the JB, so both pickups would be the JBJ model, eh?

JMB stands for Jazz Model Bridge, I believe.
