Thinking of buying a Jag HH, how does it sounds ?

I curently have a Jagstang with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge, and a Mustang with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the bridge. I love the sound of those pickups. Beautiful clean sound and solid distortion.

I'd like to buy a Jaguar HH (olympic white or sunburst), the one that have ''enforcer humbucker'' pickups. I'm wondering what you all think about those pickups, do they sound fine ? How would you compare them to a JB or a Hot Rails ?

Hey. I personally don't rate the HH Jags. Having played one it felt, ok, but nothing special but thats not to say you won't like it.

The p/ups are ok but i think they will sound a bit dirtier compared to your J-S.

Any pics of the JagStang? We like JagStangs round these parts.

Hehe ty, i've been lurking on the forum for many years, i even had an account, but i forgot my info so i just created a new one, lol :/ Oh, and i'll post pics of my stangs on the appropriate section.

Ok, i imagine the enforcer humbucker might sound similar to the stock humbucker on a jagstang ? I'll probably buy a jag HH and change the bridge pickup later anyway lol, might go for another JB jr even though i already have one in my Jagstang (i just like that pickup so much !) or maybe a dimarzio super distortion, but in the meantime i'll just use the stock pickups it comes with.

Oh they're better than the stock J-S bucker which is pretty pathetic really but you can change em out.

The thing that gets me about the HH Jag is that if it were'nt for the over elaborate wiring system it'd be a Jag Master and they do me fine.

Its a good guitar though just not what i'd go for.

Olympic White over Sunburst for me everytime.

Well to be honest, i've never played a HH Jaguar. But i did play a CIJ one and a Vietnam fake copy with a real Jaguar neck. And if everything goes right i will have a Olympic White MIJ one this Wednesday/Thursday. 😀

But i heard the stock Enforcer humbuckers aren't really that bad. Ofcourse you can always swap the pickups for better ones, but that's up to you. 😉
