1965 jaguar pickup?

Post by snopro78 » Tue Nov 05, 2019 4:25 am

I got confused about the pickups on my jaguar, the brigde pick up seems right, a grey bobbin staggered one, but the neck pickup is a flat pole with black bobbin, i’d say it’s plastic rather than pressed fibre, it would be nice to hear somebody elses opinion,
It has no date stamp, my suspision is that it’s a newer pickup

I took an even closer look and noticed that the material is waxed fibre, and the hole in the middle of the bottom plate has threads, I guess that this rises the posibility that it’s an old pickup? I did’nt know the poles could vari as late as -65, there are no signs of resoldering
