Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together as a set?
Yes. The SJAG-1N neck pickup is reverse wound reverse polarity (RWRP), which cancels hum when paired with the SJAG-1B bridge pickup. They are designed to work as a complementary vintage Jaguar set.
Which pickup is brighter and more suited to lead playing?
The SJAG-1N neck pickup is significantly brighter, with a 10.2 kHz resonant peak and 9/10 treble emphasis, making it ideal for single-note lines and cutting through driven amplifiers. The SJAG-1B is warmer and more balanced for rhythm and fuller tones.
What guitar body types work best with the SJAG-1B?
The SJAG-1B is optimized for ash, alder, or basswood body instruments and works especially well with rosewood fingerboards, delivering warm vintage character on these combinations.
Are both pickups hand-wound with vintage construction?
Both use hand-ground magnetic pole pieces and vintage-correct construction methods. Both are wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback and maintain period-accurate appearance and tone.
