Q pickups '58 spec Jazzmaster

[kim]

seems fun idd, choice, experimentation, i'm very conventional with guitars, i think ( aka 'boring')


What are the neck pickupS in the JM ?

[Doog]

They're both just stock Squier VM JM pickups; I managed to a second set for mad cheap and just wanted something less quacky-honky in the bridge, with similar output to the neck position, so ...

Identical; vintage style!

I just ordered that Q set from Reverb, looking forward to having my #1 be more flexible. Will probably put a push-pull in, rather than adding a new switch or repurposing the rhythm circuit (even though I only really use it as a mute).

yeah wiring it in a knob seems the way

curious to hear, coil tap Q's seem very interesting for versatility.

on the vintage ones, how many of those left the early days factory with neck in bridge, bridge in neck etc, 'oh this one sounds different, i like this' because of those little 'errors'.

[Doog]

I read that in the ooooold days, both pickups came from the same bin, so they were literally identical?

[kim]

you're right, it was like that

Sorry for the very late response Thom, for what it's worth; yes, i've absolutely fallen in love with the Q 58's in the squier jm.

Great to hear, I’m still really happy with my strat ones.
