I don't need to buy them myself but I'd be interested to see under the covers. Top

THe fellow told me he was told they were Korean (Squier?). The bobbins are cellulose fibre, the pole pieces shiny and flat-topped (no radiusing of height) and the windings do not extend very far out – they seem underwound, by JM full-bobbin standards. Any clue about them? — Squink Out! Top

Most say they are a good quality build and sound pretty good, one person seemed to think they use Alnico 5. Surely they have to be better than the Fender MIJ/CIJ part. Top

FWIW I remember googling a photo of one after someone had pried it out, and I'm 99% sure they were flat/thin like standard JM pickups and not tall like the CIJ ones.

I was curious about them so I tried them in a friend's cheap build, and found they sounded better than I had expected. This is what mine look like. Please note the cloth covered wires are not original. — Old punks never die... They just become surf rockers. Last edited: May 02, 2014 08:48:24 Top
