Hi Phil,
Good question about the SD Antiquity's in a JagMaster. I think the sound
would be close to a CIJ with SD Antiquity's.(since the same wood is
used) (ofcourse not the Ishibashi ones, since they are Alder, I think
the CIJ and JagMaster is made out of Basswood?)
If you use antiquity's make sure to get the Antiqiuty 2's with Alnico IV
magnets as they sound a lot brighter and more Jazzmaster then the I's,
with Alnico II magnets. (this is for an aged effect, but as Mel Waldorf
said before, they sound too aged, and I agree)
If you consider SD's, also check out the Fender U.S. reisue pups for the
Jazzmaster as the are a lot cheaper then the SD's and they sound awsome.
I got a CIJ 62 reissue Jazzmaster with SD Antiquity I's and they are
O.K., however you will get more out of your tank with the II's or the
U.S. Reissue Pups. I tried both and the Antiquity I's sound too dark to
be surfy enough to my taste, not bad, but not harsh as you would expect
from a Jazzmaster. I hope to put Fender Reissue Jazzmaster Pick-ups in
my CIJ Jazzmaster, but they are not easy to get here in Europe and the
Antiquity II's are to expensive to my taste. Around $110 a piece :(
Hope this helps,
Jerry S.
