Russty,
I think it's a Jagmaster, not a Jazzmaster. I tried one once and it
doesn't sound anything like a Jazzmaster with those buckers. Maybe you
could swap those cheap pickups out and throw in some SD's that you
could split, or reverse phase them with a push pull switch or some mini
toggle switches. Other wise the guitar will sound like an SG or
something.
Whe you mentioned "Italian jobs" were you refering to Eko ? I have a
recent Eko SG what's good value for the money but it needed a change of
pickups to suit me. Cost me nearly nothing compared to a new Gibson.
