New pickups for Squier Deluxe Jazz V

susbemol

I really my Squier Deluxe Jazz V but I feel the factory pickups aren't the best (and possibly the preamp as well) so I have been looking for a replacement set.

The main issue here is the size, as the Squier ones are smaller than standard Fender 5-string Jazz pickups. Apparently, their size is the exact same as the DiMarzio Area and Ultra J pickups but the Area model seems impossible to find and the Ultra specs look way too hot for my tastes as I'd like something with a little more vintage vibe, if possible.



Would anyone be able to recommend something that might be suitable?

I recently put a set of Lollar's in my old Japanese Jazz and wow what difference! worth checking if they do a set that fit.

Yeah, I know what you mean! Unfortunately Lollar don't seem to provide dimensions specs on their website as far as I can see so I can't check.

A while ago I was looking for some unusual DiMarzios for a guitar and couldn't find what I wanted - @bloodandtears ;
pointed me to Max at Cottam Guitars who is an independent authorised dealer, who was very helpful and got me exactly what I was after.
