Title: H/S/S needed for jagmaster
Post by: Elessar [Sly] on June 20, 2012, 01:11:39 PM: This is a guitar made up of different parts of other guitars (mostly jazzmaster). It has a strat bridge and strat pups in it. I want mothers milk singles, but I want something with for kick to it in the bridge. I want something that sounds great clean but sounds really good with distortion and fuzz. What humbuckers would suit/match well with the mothers milk's?

I will do. Just to mention it has a maple neck and fretboard (big headstock style).

I believe gwEm has a hardtail Strat quite similar to that.

And I have something similar in the works - which will have a VHII and (probably) Irish Tours.

Do you have any youtube clips I can listen to?

The guitar you must be referring to is my hardtail Jazzmaster, which has a big headstock, maple board and a single VH2 bridge?

Anyway, that guitar definitely has 'teh toanez' so to speak. Kicks the amp hard, but very PAF sounding, balanced, open, and a nice Fendery quality to it. It works well with the maple board and alder body. I think someone described it on here recently as a Fender friendly PAF, which is as good a description as any.
