New to me anyway. I bought a 2001 Squier Jagmaster, 25.5 scale and alder body. I’m thinking of changing the pickups. It has some Humbuckers in it stock. So the options are something in that size or a new pickguard and then it’s jokers wild. So what are your suggestions for something in dual buy surf worthy? Help a brother out.

I have a 90’s Vista Jagmaster, and it’s one of my favorite guitars. Very comfortable to play and sounds great. I have a set of Phat Cats in mine - just be sure to shield the cavity if you go this route. I’ve also heard Surf 90’s work well, but haven’t tried them myself.

Additionally, you could get a custom pickguard made and use two Strat single coils. I did this for a while with a pair of SD Antiquity Surfers, before going back to P90s. I play Surf, but I also play 60's garage rock, and P90s work best for both.

For mods... aside from pickups, I recommend String Saver saddles (as used by Dick Dale) and locking tuners.

I want to hear Caravan with a drum solo.

While I love my Jaguars, sometimes a 25.5” scale is very nice to have. I remember playing one of those, back in the day, and came away impressed. Enjoy.
