HSS Warmoth Jaguar Project, pickup question
Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:07 am
Hello Everyone,
before I start my Jaguar project, I'd like to get some opinions regarding getting Stratocaster HSS pickups for it, as opposed to Jaguar pickups.
In general, I really like the look of the Jaguar, but tone wise I'd like to get a modern rock tone in the bridge, a chimey bell like neck tone and funky quack tones like a Strat in positions 2 and 4.
Of course, the Jaguar's bridge and scale length will make it sound different than a Strat, but I'm not expecting "authentic" results, rather that it'll be it's own special creation.
I'm planning to get the following pickups:
Seymour Duncan '59/Custom Hybrid in the bridge
Bareknuckle Irish Tour Middle and Neck pickups
Also, I want to mount the neck pickup closer to the neck than on a normal Jaguar for more warmth.
Here are some specs of the parts that I already have:
Roasted maple neck
Roasted swamp ash body
Height adjustable saddles mustang bridge: https://www.warmoth.com/Modified-Mustan ... 6C716.aspx
Otherwise, the usual Jaguar stuff
Edit: I now realized that there is a "Jaguarillo".
But please share your experiences in terms of pickups, thank you
