Seymour Duncan VS Stock Jackson Pickups

Got my Jackson JS32T Rhoads 2 and a half months ago. Now i finally got around to getting the pickups replaced. I put a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck. I also got all of the electronics replaced. New CTS pots, new Switchcraft toggle switch. Hope you enjoy.
Take a look at my other sites.
And you can also get yourself a copy of my first album on my website. Only 5.50$

Really amazed at how good the stock pickups sound in an affordable guitar.

[@Matheuszalenski]

Seymour Duncan Distortion is a monster pickup, but Jackson pickup is very good for the price

[@DharynSimmerX]

i don't see much of a difference, is there something wrong with me ?

[@markjohnston3790]

I really like the tones of the Jackson stock Pick ups, there's basically no difference save your money stick with the Jacksons cleaner and brighter for sure Just because you spend more money doesn't mean they're any better!

[@GinoMarks]

Well I guess that just shows how good Jackson is making there stuff you know these JS range guitars they're making are just awesome Considering how affordable they are vary well crafted

[@BangaGlaser]

What a great video. Every step and combination repeated, so simple and extremely effective in showing the differences. Sadly, I've never seen another demonstration like this. Wonderful job sir. I have that guitar and was wondering exactly if SD's are the way to go. Thank you.

The stock pickup has more low end than the seymor duncans .

I wouldn't be caught dead without my Jackson JS32

[@cleopatra308]

Thanks for saving me both money and time researching. Not changing my stock pick ups they are almost exactly the same as the seymores. 👍🏻

[@tankdarla637]

Well so far this video is proving to me that the stock Jackson high output pickups are not bad at all

For those out there who cannot hear a real difference... the stock Jackson pickups are good but you will hear their weaknesses at full stage volume and even bedroom volumes depending on your equipment. I was originally hesitant to replace my stock Jackson Bridge pickup but eventually put in a Duncan JB and it made almost no difference, actually the JB sounded more brittle and sterile compared to the Jackson. On the other hand, I took out the JB and replaced it with a Duncan Distortion and now the guitar is a whole new animal and grew a set of balls very very quickly. This is a good comparison video but it doesn't really do it full Justice. In real life the real difference between these two pickups is that the Duncan Distortion that has more clarity and note to note definition, way tighter on the low end and definitely less harsh or shrill on the top end. More compressed and warmer... harmonic's will simply jump off of your fretboard with the Duncan Distortion while the Jackson pickup seemed to lack harmonic content. What's even better with the Duncan Distortion is that if you lower the pickup height a bit away from the strings, you will lose a little bit of output but will gain even more clarity I will lose some of that top-end fizz that some people may not like... run it through a tube screamer and you will get that awesome Midtone hump like a Duncan JB while maintaining a tight low-end from The Duncan distortion. So all in all my Jackson dinky went from "awesome" to... "holy shit awesome".. Duncan distortions all the way.

The Jacksons are not bad at all. Specially the bridge. But the Seymour Duncan's clearly win. The cut through the mix better, and are more articulate.

[@TheWordprophet]

The stock Jackson pickups actually sound better to me...you just saved me some money.

[@hunterqrose2583]

Thank you for actually doing a pick up comparison video where you can hear the pick ups without having to listen to some crappy background music that's obviously somebody's band demo, I hate those videos. Thank You!

[@joelsmith4816]

Perfect video for a pickup comparison. Wow SD. I have the new js 22 monarch with purple quilt top and couldn't be happier great construction and plays perfect and sounds great stock but hear I come mr. Duncan

[@eroticblack]

the stock jackson high output pickups are amazing. They came in my js-34 dinky! Gonna upgrade to SD soon!

[@calesfer]

Perfect, I was thinking to change my pickups, now I wont, the stock ones are nice! 👌🏻✨

[@xXEmbracetheMetalXx]

Great comparison video.

[@AleArzMusic]
