Replacing Stock Re-issue Jag pickups

Hi (first post).
Ive never tried replacing stock pickups on guitars yet, but I thought maybe id swap out the ones i got with my reissue jaguar. Id just like some advice on what to go for to get more output but a real vintage tone. Id heard about the seymour duncan sjag 1 in the neck, but it doesnt seem to have much in the way of good reviews.
So, more output, and a vintage sound. Neck and bridge. thanks.

I don't really think that SJAG-3s give a good vintage sound. Higher output - yes.
For vintage I would suggest Antiquities:

Yeah, an SJAG-3 isn't vaguely vintage. it's more like BLARRRRGGHHH

they shouldn't be difficult to get hold of at all.
do a local search on google, loads of dealers stock them.

Where are you based? Seymour Duncans are probably the most widely available pickups out there.

but he wants
pickups, stewart. jos keeding! =]
welcome to the board, crofty, and let us know how your upgrade goes. it should be fairly straightforward since you're swapping singles for singles and not altering the switching. if you do run into troubles, just holla back.
