Re: NGD: 1966 Fender Jaguar
That explanation re hot pickup makes sense. I think that's a good score.

I'll have to measure the impedance in my 64 pups and see what they read.

Well... I have to eat my words. You're bang on.sunburster wrote:Could you provide some of those links? I've never seen that before. I might expect a leftover black bottom to sneak in to an early '65, but not on a '66 with a block-n-binding neck - a B&B Jag is not a transition model, only the D&B Jags were. Here's a restoration of an early '66 (still has dots on the bound neck), with the expected grey bottom pickups: http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/vie ... php?t=5323bender wrote: There’s a fair bit of anecdotal evidence of CBS using up old stock in transition models (my 67 bandmaster is a prime example) so it makes sense to me. I found several resto threads of 66 jags with black bottom pickups when I was researching this guitar too.
Also, if it was a black bottom original to the guitar you'd expect a date stamp on it, as it should be from no earlier than '64 when they were stamping the dates (in '65 they changed to pencil dates).
Lots of mid-late 60s Jags had their bridge pups swapped for pre-CBS Jag pups (or those from other manufacturers) because the mid-late 60s ones sound a bit thin/anaemic.
Neck pickup confirms the greyness:
And bridge pickup is exactly as described:
