P90s in a Jaguar?

XWulfhere

Just looking at pickup options for my JM Jaguar, browsing through Creamery's site I see they offer P90 to fit the Jag

Anyone ever tried this? I've tried to search on youtube but no dice.

EDIT: I mean retrofitting Creamery or other Jag pickup sized P90s into an existing Jag

Wash your mouth out with soap

well I guess I'd need a soapbar for that, rather than dogear...

ToneControl

Ahh no, sorry, what I meant was has anyone fitted them to a regular Jag, either creamery ones or other Jag sized P90. Will edit original post...

I imagine its an overwound Jag pickup with a magnet along the bottom.

Personally if I were going to change pups in a Jag/buy some generally I would talk to Marc at mojopickups @mojopickups

He is the daddy of pickup winders.

I strongly recommend a set of overwound alnico 2 Jag pickups. Overwound alnico 5s are nice too. 

If you want hot, the classic player jag pickups can be had for cheap and they have a p90 vibe to them. 

if you are doing it to the Marrguar I would recommend changing the bridge first. The stock fender staytrem is nothing like a real staytrem and you get a much nicer sound from a staytrem unit or a Mastery.

I'm toying with the idea of building a Jag or (more likely) A jazzmaster, and I've had a look at those alternative bridges you mention. I will give one of them a try if I go ahead.

Jazzmaster all the way and definitely mojo for the pickups. 

@JookyChap will be able to help you out loads on the Jazzmaster front.

Big +1 on mojopickups if for no other reason than he is a complete offset nut..oh, and that his pickups are always brilliant.

Give us a PM @wulfhere if you need pointing at part suppliers (unless your moniker means you are a Wanderers fan in which case you are on your own - boing boing

Heh heh no worries @JookyChap its a reference to Wulhere, king of Merica who allegedly, maybe had his seat of power somewhere near to my town of Stone in Staffordshire

If I go ahead with Jazzmaster I will consult you wise fellows, who I have already gathered are well versed in the subject :-)

Actually, it's no worry - the missus is a Spurs fan ffs

I've spent many a happy hour at White Hart lane. That place has got a bit of character!

Yeah, think they'd fit the hawthorns in their club shop. First time I went with her I couldn't believe they had supermarket trollies, I ask yer...

I have a pair of Mojo pickups P90s in a Tele. They are amazing.
