New pickups for an MIJ.

Kyle

Recently got a new Jaguar MIJ.

Lovely guitar, really into it, but the pickups arent working for me. I use alot of guitars, and when i switch from playing say a Ricky 330, to the jag, it requires the gain on the amp to be cranked to compete. I have a paisley tele i had to do the same to.

Is there any recommendations for pickups? I just want something a little more hotter than the standard pickups. Style of play is basically alternative indie rock.

Cheers

Maybe a ''Hot for Jaguar SJAG-2'' in the neck and a ''Quarter Pound for Jaguar SJAG-3'' in the bridge?

I agree with serious cat. That's a killer combo from what I've heard on youtube demos and stuff. You also might consider a Little 59 in the bridge for a hot but quiet sound. My only prob with the little 59 and jb jr is the look. But hey, if it sounds good...

I'm in the same boat as you. Just got a MIM jag after returning two HH jags for various reasons. I'm looking for a hotter pup for bridge and all the guitar techs I know say to go with a little 59 if you are looking for a mini humbucker and what serious cat suggested if you want to stay with single coils. Keep us posted on what u decide and how it turns out.
