Keeping in mind the original picture is not straight and all, there are still tweaks that can be addressed:

Nice! Pondering on how to deal with the decal on mine... it'll be going on a real Fender so I kind of want a Fender decal... maybe I'll just chop the word "Fender" out of another logo?

He's tweaking it and said he should be able to have us something later tomorrow.
We're getting there... This is so cool, man. Everyone is working together. I told him if he offers these in the future that surely other nerds will buy them, even if it's just for Strats or Jazzmasters.

Awsome. Can't wait to see the next rev from Jim.
Here's a close-up of the pickups from the Premier Guitar video. Any idea what these could be?

I went Jaguar pickups but haven't got my body made yet, I thought that's what they had... But I don't see the metal claw thing in this pic. I thought one of them did have the claws?
If we can't figure it out, I'd be happy to email Curtis Novak.
I just saw he made this: 12 string + Marauder - with Curtis Novak pickups... https://www.guitarworld.com/news/fender ... boundaries
Makes me wonder if he had some inside information on what type of pickups they were, how they were wound, what they read when hooked up... I've bought some pickups from him before, maybe if I ask he'll help me out knowing that there's at least 3 pickups he can sell.

Here's Jim's exact reply:
I’ll give it a go, the first pic is better to have worked off of, like I said, we can tweak it a bit, but at some point it boils down to everybody’s best guess from a photo. I’ll get a tweaked version over to you in the morn. All good man, have a good night.

They should just buy one of these.
They are pretty spot-on!
Well, the one I got had the Marauder swoop, not starcaster swoop.

Great suggestion to ask Curtis. If you want to contact him, that's awesome. I purchased a few pickups from him 8 or 9 years ago so I can contact him too if you'd prefer.N0_Camping4U wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 4:31 pmI went Jaguar pickups but haven't got my body made yet, I thought that's what they had...

I asked him like right after that post, figured, why the hell not? I'll let everyone know what he says too!smjenkins wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 5:27 pmGreat suggestion to ask Curtis.

Seeing as this guitar is mostly made up of Mustang hardware (tremolo guts, bridge), I think they very well may be Mustang pickups without covers.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture of a prototype with Jaguar pickups in it. And, it looked way better than the naked ones in the pic above.

To me the bottom of the swoosh still doesn't look steep/long enough (the part that comes out from the nut and drops down to a point). If you look at the photos it seems to drop down a bit straighter and is maybe a little longer, too. Def not a dealbreaker... but figured I'd mention
