I'd think Jag pickups might work. If you really want the JM sound, Novak does have the dog-ear-P-90-looking JM mount intended for Tele neck use -- no routing necessary.

Gold foils? Are they easy to come across cheap?

By the way, I also need pickups that work well with feedback as I use it a lot in my music..

Lollar Jaggys, man. I think you'd dig 'em. Or the Novak P-90 things in the singlecoil shape. :idk:

Best bet would be to email someone like Lollar or Novak with the same question as here, and ask whether their pickup gets the sound you're after. :thumb:

Novak would be able to advise you as to whether these would fit on your Phantom, too: http://curtisnovak.com/pickups/JMx-Jag.shtml

Basically Jazzmaster pickups intended to fit on a Jaguar, and Jag pickups seem the closest to what you have on your Phantom. Maybe if you lose the pickup rings it'll screw into the same holes?
The pickup is a full sized Jazzmaster pickup, and really sounds FAT and FULL in the Jag.

Thanks for the tips. Leaning towards jaguar pickups! Just gotta get some money first.

Used my last bucks on installing a mastery on the teardrop, even though the spacing was completely wrong.
So the guy kept the "feet" of the old bridge and put it together with the top of a mastery. Turned out really good.
Its a different guitar now.

Pickups next in line!
