Maybe not, but there certainly won't be a $100 difference in the pickup set.-2N3904- wrote: GFS pups aint as good as AV jag pups tho.

Re: Fitting Strat Pickups in a Jaguar?
still,id save for a jag PG and AV pups. it will sound better and also look better.
btw jag pup covers wont fit strat pups.(they will without the claw) you cant have the claw with any other pup except jaguar pups.

Re: Fitting Strat Pickups in a Jaguar?
yup, the pickups will fit on your HH no problemo-Anti- wrote:Well, to go with normal jag pups it would be a minimum of $150. To go with Strat pups, which are virtually the same aside from some shape differences, it will cost me about $50.Libtoem wrote: Since you have a jaguar hh strat pickups will fit just fine.But why dont you just get some nice jaguar pickups,it will make everything a hell of alot easier.
Will the Strat pickups fit normally in a Jaguar pickguard without having to route the pickup holes?
Or, will Jaguar pickup covers fit right over Strat pickups?

Re: Fitting Strat Pickups in a Jaguar?
I'm skipping the claw. Yeah, it won't be spot on to a vintage Jaguar, but oh well. The claw doesn't do much anyway. (at lest tonally)-2N3904- wrote: still,id save for a jag PG and AV pups. it will sound better and also look better.

As for Jaguar pups, Strat pickups and jag pickups are nearly identical aside from the bottom shape. The only difference will be that the pickups I put in will be slightly lower output, which I actually want. I've heard nothing but good things about GuitarFetish's GFS pickups on multiple message boards, so I think I'll be happy with their sound.
Also, at such a low price, I can always experiment with other pickups later and I won't be out a ton of money if I decide to try something else later. If I would get the AVRI's and not like them, I'd be out ~$140.

Re: Fitting Strat Pickups in a Jaguar?
I know - I don't think I specified that I'd be using Jag pup covers though. I'll just be leaving the claw off because of the triangle base.-2N3904- wrote: i obviously meant with strat covers.

Re: Fitting Strat Pickups in a Jaguar?
Should the Jazzmaster pickup mounting screws on Guitarpartsresource work to mount the Jaguar pups?

Re: Fitting Strat Pickups in a Jaguar?
^Because Seymour Duncans would end up being around $200 if I go with the SJAG-1's, and $250+ for antiquities.
Aside from that, I'm basically just paying more for a Strat pickup that's labeled differently.
Can anyone tell me what kind of screws I need to mount the new pickups? Will the Jazzmaster Pickup Screws at guitarpartsresource.com work?

If you get these you won't even need a new pickguard:

Re: Fitting Strat Pickups in a Jaguar?
The problem is that I really *want* a new pickguard. I don't really like the single ply black guard that's on it now. I'll be replacing it with a red tort guard.rickenmetal wrote: If you get these you won't even need a new pickguard:

$116 -pups
$10 - pup covers
$20 - two claws
$40 - Pickguard
=$166 without claws, $186 with. Prices taken from GPR.
With Strat pups;
$30 - boutique Strat pups from Guitar Fetish
$10 - pup covers
$40 - Pickguard
=$80 total. Claws won't fit the Strat pickups, so I left them out.
That's less than half the price for a pickup that's only *slightly* different.
Either way though, I desperately need to know what kind of screws I need to mount ANY pickup in my Jaguar. Will those Jazzmaster pickup screws work??
