I was thinking about the Fender USA '62 Vintage in the bridge of this swinger thing.
Can anyone give me some feedback?

I got a pair of Jess Loureiro JM pickups I couldn't be happier with both in terms of how they sound and what they cost.

I find it helpful to have at least a vague location in someone's profile. Anyway, people over here buy stuff from over there quite a lot. We may bitch about shipping, randomly imposed duty, 20% tax and handling charge but some still buy e.g. GFS bits and pieces.

As far as quality and price, that will probably be your best bet. Definitely check out some of the other custom Builders like Fralin, Novak and Seymour Duncan, but you will pay a little more.

toez10 is a member here on the forum who also makes custom pickups.

I am building a Jazzmaster so I am trying to figure out what to buy as well.

North or South?

Really depends on what you expect from your jazzmaster pickup.... what do you like ? High output, low output ? traditional sounds, or a more modern vibe ?

For me I would opt for a classic player p/up... they're hotter and suit the modern day player. Nice with the dirts.

Otherwise Novak, who can build all sorts.... he seems well respected.

check rosepickups.com

they have fine deals there.
