It's also really quite expensive.
As a bonus, requires desoldering a bunch of stuff from the 3xDPDT switches and main volume/tone/output jack section to install it on a vintage-spec Jaguar body negating any benefits of a pre-wired 'drop in' harness.

There are 3 caps in a jag. The seller's pics show all 3 but the listing currently only has 1 (0.33uF). The main tone cap in the pic has an "SK" and ".1X" code, unlike the more common ceramic cap 3-number code, and are apparently NOS or replica Fender, and listed in several places as 0.1uF ...

Vintage correct would actually be 0.
01uF.
Can't see markings on rhythm circuit cap, which should also be 0.01uF. Correct strangle cap would be 0.
003uF (marking not visible in pic); the one cap in seller's current list is 0.33uF.
Suggest you confirm exact specs with the seller.
Thank you, very helpful!

Anyone have experience with both Fralin & Novak pickups? Have Fralin's +5% in my JM at the moment. Wondering if I might like the Novak JM-V/FAT combination more.

For anyone familiar with Pickup Wizard, do you know of a winder whose pickups come close to the same sound of Peter's enamel-wire PUs? I'm thinking about Sunday (timbo). I never play with an overdriven sound. I like clean and sparkly, shimmer. Thanks!

Hi there, Iām using plain enamel and Alnico 5 in my jm-v pickup which aims to be a replica of 1961 jazzmaster spec. So they maybe quite close. Formvar gets talked about a lot for vintage spec but fender was actually using plain enamel in the early years of jm production.

I have a quick question and apologize if this has been covered in this thread.
How do the Fender 62 reissue Jag pickups compare to something you might find in a 2015 MIM? Specifically the bridge. Have an opportunity to buy one for 60$ (CND) shipped and I'd totally give it a try if it's worth it.
