First, let me say that if this post is in any way a violation of SurfGuitar101 policies, please remove it and we will find another way.
Disclaimer aside, I want to offer a free set of Jazzmaster pickups from Surfside Pickups to someone who is adept at doing pickup swaps, willing to install in a Jazzmaster, and who would be willing to simply write a review of your impressions of the pickups.
The other part of the deal is this: if you decide not to keep the pickups in your guitar, please pass them on to another forumite here who meet the same criteria.
I have been using an identical set in my jazzmaster for several months and I have been hugely happy.
Here is some info on the pickups:
Surfside Boutique Pickup Set For Fender Jazzmaster® Guitar
My good friend, a long time boutique pickup winder, has decided that he would be happier winding his legendary custom pickup wares as a recluse than spending his life on the phone and on the internet. He was thinking about retiring until I offered to help him offer his great pickups here on Ebay.
Being a guitarist who loves to play Surf guitar, I bought a Squier Jazzmaster guitar. While I loved the guitar, I was not in love with the stock pickups, so I asked my reclusive friend if he would wind me a set for my Jazzmaster. He’s wound magical pickups for my Strats and Teles over the years. We went back and forth with prototypes until we had the right balance of tone, fatness, articulation and that elusive musical vibe that is the mark of truly great guitar pickups.
The neck pickup is fat, clean and present and the bridge pickup has a bit of extra beef, while remaining full range and dripping with tone. The bridge pickup uses alnico 8 magnets and incorporates adjustable pole pieces. When used together, the pickups are hum-canceling.
These pickups are wound by hand and are totally hand made, from assembly of the bobbins to the actual wining of the coils. Hand wound coils are far superior than machine wound, mass produced pickups. If you care to have the best, this is it.
Specs:
Bridge: 9:14k
Neck: 6.89k
This is a first come, first served deal. I will get your shipping address via private message.
