Title: Fender Jaguar Pickups
Post by: GeorgeF on November 01, 2006, 11:38:58 PM

Hello, I was wondering if there are Bare Knuckle Pickups available for Jaguars?

I'm looking to upgrade because the stock pickups feedback something awful when played at a high volume with any amount of gain. Needless to say, gigging with it is impossible! I figured I'd go for the best and come to you guys.

Isn't a Jaguar pickup a regular single coil with a metal plate on the side?
If not then you could get a rewind rather than a new pickup, it would solve your problem and improve your tone :D

As I understand BKP do not make Jaguar pickups - you could try Curtis Novak in the US - he makes scatter wound Jaguar pickups.

Thanks guys, that's a shame about the Jags. I've just looked at Curtis Novak's site and he only makes replacements based on the stock vintage pickups. I'm looking for more of a hot vintage style, something which will handle itself well at higher gains and EQs. Basically, I want my Jaguar to sound like a Tele.

Would it be possible to fit a strat or tele single coil in it?
