Frequently Asked Questions
Do your Jazzmaster pickups use staggered or radiused pole pieces?
Yes, our Jazzmaster pickups have a pole piece radius of approximately 9.5”. We find that this is a sweet spot and works well even with guitars that have different fingerboard radii. We do not offer custom radius pickup builds.
What values of potentiometers and capacitors do you recommend for Jazzmaster pickups?
Vintage Jazzmasters (along with Tele Deluxes and Thinlines among others) used 1meg pots, which gives the guitar a lot of brilliance and presence. Many players today find that sound to be a little on the harsh side, so we generally recommend 250k pots with a .047 cap as we would for a Strat or Tele. That said, there are no hard and fast rules. You can read more about how different pot and cap values affect tone in this two-part blog post: Part I - Pots, Part II - Caps.
