Need info on these JB/Jazz combo

[UnderTheFlame83]

Bought a 2008 ESP LTD MH-250NT today for a killer price and these pickups are installed. Never seen a JB or Jazz look like these. When did these come out? Any info on them?

These are limited edition 35th Anniversary Commemorative Jazz/JB pickup (hot rodded set). Like the earliest production JB, these special Commemorative pickups have a single-conductor wire, rough-cast magnets, butyrate bobbins, and long-legged bottom plates featuring a special laser-engraved 35th Anniversary logo.

Long Mounting Legs
Single Conductor Wire
Maple Spacer
Butyrate Bobbins
Rough Cast Alnico V Bar

Thanks for the info, Mincer. I have other JB and Jazz pickups, but these do sound different and I was wondering why.

And if you got a killer deal, that's an even bigger score!

I think I will hold onto these. If I do ever consider selling you'll be the first one to know.

This Topic discusses why they may sound a little different: Whats the deal with the JB Antiquity and the 35th anniversary?

Thanks! I'm very happy with this score. Glad I picked it up when I did. Local, too. This guitar is excellent and such a rare find.

Nah, send it to Ace first. He's setting up The Definitive, Ultimate JB Comparison test. You'll get it back. ProMiSE....

I am one of the guys talking about old SD pickups sounding better / smoother / fuller than the new ones. So don't be surprised that I say the 35th JB sound much like my old JBJ.
Good catch.

BTW They are made in 2011-03-30

Yep, and made for 2011 only. They sound heavily. I don't think I have seen them for sale before--I'd remember the engraving on the bottom if I did. For those seeking this set, and find them, they're worth it.
