Humbucker in Jag

Post by Boxbie »

I'm getting a Sentell JO3 humbucker for my AVRI Jag (neck).

I have no idea how it will sound, this is pure impulse stupidity. I'll then post a better video of how it sounds.

Here's my jag *before:

ok, so it arrived. the pickup was a bit wonky on the top, but the photos on his site prepared me for that. installation was fine.

Sounds good. Not huge like a super distortion. I havent had a chance to play it in the band yet, so verdict is still out.
I'll post sound when I get a chance.

Talk to me about the switching set-up on this guy. Pickup toggle with strangle switch?

I want to put a single coil sized bucker in the bridge position of my CIJ jaguar, and thought of trying out a JB '59 jr, or w/e from Seymour Duncan. These though are made for jags!

I think I want a hotter wind but I'm not sure. Should just talk to the seller about this.

You're not gonna question Boxbie having drawn that in 1962?
