Product Details
To voice our Original '58 Jazzmaster® pickup we referenced the original pickups in Jason Lollar’s pre-production Jazzmaster®. The result is a pickup true to the unique and recognizable Jazzmaster® tone, but with a more percussive low end and clearer, more articulate midrange than modern stock Jazzmaster® pickups. Our bridge pickup is also hotter for better volume and tone balance between neck and bridge positions.
Avg. DC: Neck 8.4K, Bridge 8.8K (Read about DC resistance)
Recommended Capacitor: 0.047μF
Recommended Potentiometers: 250k or 1meg
1meg pots are "vintage correct" and give a brighter overall tone than 250k pots, but either will work. It's a matter of preference.

I put a set of these in my MIJ Fotoflame, and just WOW! These transformed the guitar from an occasionally used anomaly into my everyday working tool. It covered any kind of music our band does, from Louis Jordan to Muddy to Beatles, Stones, dance, pop... everything.

Dropped these into my MIJ JM , and wow!
Huge improvement on the MIJ PU’s. And I have compared to AVRI of friends, which sound great, but I prefer my Lollars.
Great rhythm and lead tones, and improved use of the JM rhythm circuit for me. Beefed up the tone, and improved frequency balance. Still have the splangy sparkle but now fuller and more sonorous on single notes.
Another home run for Lollar! All offset fiends and fans should check out what Jason and his team are doing.
Great product!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your Original '58 Jazzmaster pickups use staggered or radiused pole pieces?
Yes, these 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.
