Thinking of changing pups on my Jazzmaster 66' RI (suggestio

FuzzBuzz

Hi!

I've been thinking about changing the stock pups on my jazzmaster, and wanted to get your opinions on it. I've been looking at the SD SH2 & 3 as well as the p90 version they have at lindy fralin. I know they are two very different pickups, but I am not sure which one's the one I need. I'm looking to get a warmer sound out of my jazzmaster as well as getting rid of some of its "icy-pickness". I kinda lean more towards the p90s, but I've heard they tend to be a little noisier that other pickups??? anyone have one of these installed? what other good options are out there?

thanks!

You might want to check out Curtis Novak pickups. They're all handwound and have great reviews. He has a mosrite P90 in a jazzmaster size. I think he does custom jobs too 😉

Also cool thing in your sig. Think I might leave a couple of reviews there.

I just looked at those, and they seem very tempting!! What's the difference between the regular p90's and the mosrites? I was looking at the pictures and it looks like they have larger pole pieces.

as for the page...

thanks, mate .glad you liked it. I'm still working on though, but I appreciate your feedback 😁

Mosrite P90s are overwound, Generally in the 10-13k range. Originals aren't potted so they squeal at high volumes but there's some nice copies. Hallmark makes some nice Mosrite style products and they're improved too. Easier for people to adjust to the guitars and such. (Mosrite's guitars in the 60s had very low frets which are hard to adjust to)
