The output is kind of weak for the pickups and im usually fond of low output.

this is the common complaint on this guitar. I would love to replace the pups with either WRHB or AVRI Jag singles.

What is the switching setup on these guitars? Also, I just put AV Jag pickups in my Classic Player Jaguar and it completely transformed the instrument for me.

But what if you've turned all the way up to ten, and need to go louder?

ok, so i got the cp jag hh. im so not happy with the pickups, it seems that the brightest sound i can get is quite muddy anyway. any suggestions? if i am going to put hotter pups in can i still keep the single/hb blend controls? which pups would work with it? do they have to be two single coils or can i still get the blend with a hb?
