Jason Becker, Peter Hodgson: Seymour Duncan Jason Becker Perpetual Burn Humbucker reviewed by I Heart Guitar

Seymour Duncan Jason Becker Perpetual Burn Humbucker -
I installed a Perpetual Burn in my Ibanez RG550 (a roadflare-red 20th Anniversary model). I kept the stock single coil pickup in the middle position for now, and added a Seymour Duncan SH-1n ’59 Model in the neck position. The first thing I noticed about the Perpetual Burn was how it seemed to embody much of what I love about the JB but with more dynamic sensitivity and less power in the low end. The mids aren’t as honky either, with more of an emphasis on upper mids rather than ‘middle mids.’ It’s perfect for hard rock and blues rock, but also ideally suited to my personal favourite metal tones – think the rich, woody tones of the JB on Megadeth’s ‘Youthanasia,’ but shifted a little towards Eddie Van Halen’s famous ‘Brown Sound.’ It’s easy to generate pinch harmonics, and palm-muted notes are well-defined and chunky. - See more at: http://iheartguitarblog.com/2014/06/review-seymour-duncan-jason-becker-perpetual-burn-humbucker.html#sthash.Vwf9jrWF.O937sZMa.dpuf
