Have to stick my oar in here, I can see what you're getting at Rick but you've been shouted down on this one! The reason I bought an HH jag as opposed to a "proper" one was because I was looking for something a bit different. I've got a strat already and fancied getting away from straight single coil tone, but am a sworn enemy of les pauls (too fat + heavy, half the tuning pegs are upside down, the body digs in to your chest yadda yadda ya).
With an HH (I thought) I'd be getting the pro's of a hardtail bridge (more sustain, stability etc, and I'm not much of a trem fan) and a different humbuckery sound but still with the sexy shape and ergonomic curves and design of a fender. In actual fact you don't get much humbuckery-ness, I think the p'ups are wired in parallel (?) or something. You would imagine it would sound like a LP but it doesn't, but on the face of it it is something like a cross between a jag and a gibson.
My choice certainly had nothing to do with Kurt Cobain, if I thought people would make that assumption I'd probably have bought something else!
I think Aphid is definitely after a standard jag and not an HH anyway 😊
