iCEByTes

What are better ? What the difference in sound ? , Jag Japan pup's or Usa Jag Pup's

neck jaguar pup's can be used in middle ?

I vow neither, in favor of an original handwound pickup with a few extra turns of wire to bump it up around 7.0K Ohms

Americans

cause'

wax/cloth covered wire, wax potted.

Better magnets on pole pieces

Better copper wire wound around..I forget the material coated on this copper..

Then the whole pickup is wax potted or maybe american ones are the lacquered ones, as they become harder and would shrink.

The claws are also chrome on the MIA and stainless steel JAP.

and aged white pickup covers if you're in to that kind of thing....

Jaguar search was how I first found the site

I'm also impressed Lou, that Jag looks great. I always imagined you being a devout strat player as well...belting out "Layla" on a friday night somewhere. 😛

While I love the Layla lick, the piano end of the song floors me. I play very little piano, but that was the fist thing I ever learned!

I play my Ibanez Artist a lot also.

damn lou, that jag is seriously lovely. i totally agree about the piano bit of layla.

hey on that song on the compo which guitar did you use? i'd assumed a strat.

Yeah the clapton strat Paul.

I actually don't like it. we had a real hard time with the guy. He just couldn't tolerate any noise and I just couldn't get my sound.

I now prefer to play it with my Ibanez and no pick.

Well, it get's my seal of approval, one of my favorite colors, and overwound Jag pickups.
