ive got a nice stock avri jaguar and wanted something different, so i just took delivery of this jaguar -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=010 - and had my first experience changing out pickups... was replacing the unidentified bridge duncan with a Super Distortion (which also came in the neck) - my first experience soldering anything. im exchanging the neck pickup for an Air Norton and at least the soldering for it doesn't look quite as challenging. so right now it has a super dist in the neck and bridge and sounds like a monster. big ballsy sound and lots of sustain (at least compared to jag p'ups).
so who here uses humbuckers in their jags or jms, and what kind are you using?

I built a Jazzmaster using Telecaster Deluxe pickups
It sounds really nice with them. What kind of baffled me at first though, is that it still sounds like a Jazzmaster, just quite a bit thicker with a more mellow treble response. I'm really enjoying it.

the bit about it sounding still like a JM... with just the neck pickup on mine the tone is nothing like my stock jag, but add the bridge p'up an the tone brightens up and gets jangly again... neck + bridge HBs are a beefier approximation of my stock jag's neck p'up.

I've got one in my scumbag
It's a bit too muddy on it's own, but the higher out pt is great fro playing swells, and driving finnicky effects.

Is that a synth pickup on the turquoise quilt-top JM?
