.

Do you have a low noise guitar to put the humbucking pickups in?

Cavity shielding and shielded cable runs (there is a lot more wire in a JM than a Strat/Tele).

Shielding paint, copper foil under the scratchplate, and decent wiring. You can have the rhythm circuit if you follow that.

Personally, I use Humbuckers.
