Seymour Duncan SJM-2N Hot Neck Pickup For Jazzmaster

The SJM-2N Hot Jazzmaster Neck Pickup captures punchy, articulate single-coil character that remains present and defined in a dense mix without losing warmth in the neck position. Built with Alnico V rod magnets and reverse wind/reverse polarity construction, this pickup delivers aggressive output with controlled dynamics—essential for recording sessions where neck-position clarity supports both lead passages and textured chord voicings across multiple takes.

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—perfect for tracking parts that need definition during mixing. The EQ profile (8 Bass / 4 Mid / 5 Treble) maintains solid low-end body while prioritizing snap and definition, translating reliably across both clean and overdriven tones in the recording chain.

Design & Winding

The Alnico V rod magnet construction and reverse wind/reverse polarity (RW/RP) winding configuration reject hum while maximizing signal clarity—critical when layering guitar tracks in the studio. The single conductor PVC cable provides straightforward, reliable installation in standard Jazzmaster neck cavities.
