Any interesting JM size pups out there ...

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

I'm refitting my custom Harvester that Robbie is throwing a lick of paint and wees tinted clear on as we speak.

Compared to my other more traditional offsets this is a mahogony body with thru neck. It has a flatter finger board radius 12".

It also has pickup spacing that is very narrow, which I think light be contributing to a sort of out of phase sound in the mid position.

So.... As it's a bit more of a shredder than the jazzmasters I thought I'd rig it up with a balls out sort of bridge pickup to be played mainly in the bridge pickup only position. I am think wide range humbucker.

And I can put a JM pickup in the neck or if there is something out there like a gold foil or a hotter JM neck I'd maybe try that.

Anyone got something rattling around? It's unlikely, because I do have most of the JM pickups in the country I think.

I've always said that you need more Jazzmaster pickups.

I have such a shameful drawer of JM pickups.
Humbuckers are noticable in their absence, as they are in my guitar collection in general.
