Finally got both Jazzies put together...
The left one is fiesta red and is a 2018 60th Anniversary Jazzmaster with:
* Spitfire tort
* Amber switch tip
* Fralin Noiseless pickups
* American Pro bridge
* AVRI vibrato with UFO tip from Mastery
* White witch hats
* Repainted matching headstock with more period correct decal (done by our own member joeybsyc)
* Gotoh vintage style locking tuners
The right one is a 2016 Firemist Silver '65 Thin Skin with:
* Spitfire tort
* Amber switch tip
* UFO vibrato tip
* Kinman FatMaster noiseless pickups
* Staytrem bridge
Both play and sound beautiful and I'm super excited to actually own both of these things. Never thought I'd have such nice guitars in the house!

Gorgeous. How do those noiseless Fralins sound next to the real deal in the thin skin?

Well I actually have Kinman noiseless pups in the thin skin... but the Kinmans are actually very close to the '65 pickups, just a little hotter (and noiseless of course)
The Fralins also sound good but are more P90 like.... a little less detailed, and not quite as hot

Oh, I totally missed that part - you definitely listed it as having Fatmasters.adamrobertt wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 11:01 amWell I actually have Kinman noiseless pups in the thin skin... but the Kinmans are actually very close to the '65 pickups, just a little hotter (and noiseless of course)

Your description fits perfectly with what multiple people are saying about them. I feel like Kinmans are becoming an inevitability for me at this point.
