Members Django Sentenza Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 Maybe some sort of Fender wide range type pickup in a standard H size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cats-o-caster Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 This is NOT an option lol. I dislike Cobain. I dislike Jaguar, so what? Dimarzio SD is a really good option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elessar [Sly] Posted September 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 I dislike Jaguar, so what? Dimarzio SD is a really good option I am not going to use something I'm not keen on, that would be pointless... nothing in the DiMarzio range appeals to me. It is all about taste so recommending something to someone after they've said they don't want to go in that direction isn't the most helpful thing. I'm stuck though because there are quite a lot of choices and I am trying to narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wayne2 Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 I really like the idea of Filtertrons on a Jaguar body. I suspect that would be a great combination. [video=youtube;nbN6Vhisdz4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elessar [Sly] Posted September 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 That does look cool. I'm probably going to go for bare knuckles or 57's in the neck. But I am still open to ideas since everything is still in the process of planning, and I haven't committed my self to any particular pickup combo yet.

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted September 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 He was a {censored}ing tool. Did you ever find a left handed Jag body? haha Aye he was! Yeah I decided to go with MJT guitars in the end, good prices, and great customer service. I'm having them build the Jag, but I'll sort the pickups out at this end.

I've emailed them a couple of times about their Jazzmaster & Jaguar bodies and finishes. Unfortunately, they do not do NOS finishes, only relics and I hate relics like I hate Cobain.

I'm getting classic nitro finish without any relicing. I want it to age naturally like how they used to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have any problems with their closet clean grade of guitaring, but I don't seem to be having any difficulties so far. Still undecided on pickup choices though.

Members nixhex113 Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 Lace sensor duallys are cool, especially with a coil tap. I've got a red/blue in my jazzmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kit_strong Posted September 17, 2012 Members Share Posted September 17, 2012 Bump. Still looking. Avoiding bright pickups! Seriously, just contact Ken Rose or Bryan Gunsher and tell them what you will look for. You'll get exactly what you want for basically the same cost (or less) than an decent off the shelf SD or Duncan pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I may e-mail them to find out, but it is likely I'll go with pups that are already in the country. I like Bare knuckles and some duncans, but I can't make up my mind to put in an ash body. I know I need pickups that aren't going to be bright because the wood is rather bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted September 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 BKP are friggin' bad ass pickups:thu: Yeah I've got bare knuckles in a few of my guitars, and I really like them. Tim from BKP's has recommended the Nailbombs for the jag, and although I'd never usually think twice about his choice, I'm not overly keen on them in my Ibby. I also know it is a completely different instrument though. Originally I was looking at Mules, but then I was recommended VHII's, holy divers, and a crawler. So as you can see I am a bit lost.

Have you contacted Creamery for handwounds, and Iron Gear for good budget pickups and also Tone Riders Al IIs would sound very sweet in an ash bodied Jag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
