Creamery pickups through a milkman amp! Not for the lactose intolerant.

I wouldn't avoid Creamery pickups - I have their 64 Mustang pickups in my Mustang and they sound awesome. I have Curtis Novaks in my CIJ Jaguar, and they sound awesome too.

So I've had the '65 pickups in for a couple of weeks. I didn't really properly try out the stock Squier 70s Jag pickups honestly, so I can't really compare, but I can say the '65s sound really good to me. Very classic Jag sound.

Yes, a good read. I have a Jaguar Classic Player, not so popular with some but I like it. The pickups are described as hotter than original but not sure that's a good thing. Anyone have thoughts on these pups, good or bad?

I used to have the same guitar, I sold it because at some point I had to many models around. The CP is a beast, the only thing I didn't like were the pups, they were hotter and duller. If I still had this model I would swap them out for a AV'65 set.

Out of curiosity, why avoid Rose Pickups?

ok, so I finally installed my Kinman Jag pups and HOLY CRAP!!!!!
these things are like jag pups on steroids. beefy in your face tone but not distorted just more punch. Think Surf Coaster style tone. the low cut switch brings it to traditional Jag territory but click that switch up and hold on, cause that the sweetest tone I've ever heard. its a mix between a jag and Jazzmaster but with the twang of a jag but the beef of a Jazzmaster. rhythm switch and you're in the cleanest Wes Montgomery/ George Benson tone you've ever heard.

Hi all!

So.. Is there a big difference between the "Amerikansk Vintage ' 65 Single-Coil Jaguar" -pickups that came wit my Fender Road Worn 60s Jaguar, and the "AV'65 'Pure Vintage' pickup"?

(I have a Novac JM-FAT on my Jazzmaster - that's good sounding stuff right there!)

Tjanks!

That's the same pickup. Those are GOOD pickups, in my opinion.

+1 for the Pure Vintage Jag p-ups. Have them in my CP Jag. Totally happy with the tone even if the guitar itself makes me want to break things.

What pickups come on the Vintera Jag? Would the AV '65 Pure Vintage be a noticeable upgrade?

I believe that they aren’t the much-liked ‘65 Pure Vintage and I can’t say if those would be an upgrade or not, but whatever they are, they sound very good to me.

According to the Fender site, the Vinteras have "new vintage style pickups", so not the Pure Vintage. I just ordered a set.
