Designed to let you play with dynamism. The JBM10FX features a Wizard III maple neck. With a super-sleek profile, this will help your hand to fly up and down the fretboard with blistering pace.

So that means whether you're playing deep, bellowing chords at the low end, or shredding up the top of the neck, your music will sound full and defined. And they'll cope well with a variety of tunings, too. These pickups will also retain clarity at even the highest of outputs, meaning you'll never have to hold back on the volume.
