Nice pickup find in 80s ESP

DiscoStu

I've got a friend's ESP M-1 from the mid/late 80s (see here) which I've been looking after for a few years as he is in Hong Kong. 
He's taking it back soon so thought I'd strip it and give it a good clean up, and taking the zebra bridge 'bucker out I found this underneath...

Sweet! A Seymour Duncan JB humbucker, that explains the hi-gain crunch!
But this is not just a JB, it's a JBJ which means it was wound and built by Custom Shop guru Maricela 'MJ' Juarez. By all accounts she put a certain magic in to her JBs. 

Anyway it seems like a nice score.

It's got some meat about it. It's around 16k output.

Nice to see someone else with one of these guitars,  mine is pearl white with a baby blue headstock and a single bucker.

I had a JNJ (jazz) once and stupidly sold it. It was a fantastic sounding pickup.

I often browse ebay as i'd like to find another one.
