Thanks for the photos, Gavin. I see that the CIJ Jazzmaster pick-up looks more
like an over-wound strat pick-up with large plates.
As far as strings, I recommend you stick with the round wound 10's if you want
to keep that twang. You will lose all of the twang with flatwounds. I love twang
as well in certain applications and therefore I keep roundwound 9's on my
Tele's.

Marty, per your request, I posted the Jazzmaster guts photos in
the Guitars category. Bon appetite!
I may have to try some flatwounds...I used some on my Jag, and
they had a great feel. I just don't want to lose the twanginess of
my round wounds. Suggestions for strings would be mucho
appreciated.
I think the 11s I put on were some el cheapos that I bought in
bulk from a bin at The Guitar Center. That may have accounted
for the tone. Also, I didn't want to do a truss rod adjustment just
to see if I liked the 11s (remember, I actually like lighter strings).
Anyway, I like the way it is sorted out for now. If you do any mods,
please update. I'd be curious about impressions on pickups,
etc., should you change them.
