I have been shopping around for used Jaguars lately, and I have seen a handful that switched to this pickup. Anyone know if this is a good pick-up for the surf sound?

I tried them in my Jaguar and they fed back like crazy (when playing through a fuzzbox.) I sent them back to Seymour Duncan and had them wax pot them for me and they still fed back uncontrollably. I ended up installing Jazzmaster pickups instead, it was a bit of work but it sounds a lot better. |

They are basically very hot single coils, designed more for distorted playing. I have one in the neck position of my 'metal' strat (you know, the one that I just pick up on occasion and go nuts with, to get it out of my system). I think the highest profile user of them was Ritchie Blackmore who used them in his Strat all through the eighties and into the nineties. Sounded great in his Strat. But not for surf... Ivan —Ivan |
