P-90 Jazzmaster®

Just wired these up in my J Mascis JM and I'm blown away. Amazing sensitivity and clarity. Major improvement to an already great guitar. I put the 50's wind in the neck and the standard in the bridge and I think this is a great combo. Wiring was easy, The whole process including string change took 30 minutes. Highly recommended!

I love this Jazzmaster P-90! I installed the standard "bridge" pickup in my Jazzmaster. This pickups sounds incredible! It has clarity and articulation, but man does it have bite when pushed! Wow! Such an incredible sound. Takes effects incredibly well too. The first day I installed it I played for about 5 hours. I just could not get enough of the sound! The workmanship is top notch too. Beautifully made, with classy appointments such as through plate wiring to support the attached wires and high quality tape around the coil. It also pairs very well with my regular Jazzmaster neck pickup. A very unique sound when in the middle position. I highly recommend these if you are looking for an improved and unique sound for your Jazzmaster.

I've always loved playing this guitar, but the sound just wasn't correct. Those days are over. Lots of clarity and tone, yet warm. I can sit down a cycle through jazz, funk, southern rock, and stoner rock with just a twist of the volume knob. Top notch.

Overall: I recently installed the JM P90 from Lollar in my Squier J Mascis JM. The stock pickups are essentially P90s already and while they will get the job done it wasn't long before I wanted a upgrade. The worst that can happen after a upgrade like this is that you don't really notice a change after the switch. That wasn't the case here at all. I noticed a immediate and significant improvement. A guy I play with noted it sounded more 'focused' and that's probably the best description. There was more individual string clarity while playing chords, it was notably quieter in terms of noise, and when I turned my fuzz on it seemed angrier than it did before. It was just better. If you're looking to upgrade a Squier JM JM this is a great place to start. Installation: The truth is under the hood my JM's wiring from the factory was pretty unlike any of the JM schematics I saw online. It approximated what I expected, but was different enough to cause some initial confusion. In addition, the original soldering job was pretty garbage. However, None of that applies to Lollar. My only real criticism for Lollar in this case is that my JM P90s came with instructions to install their soap bar or dog ear P90s in a Gibson Guitar, which made me wonder why they included instructions at all. Additionally, they do not have a guide, tutorial, or video on their website for a JM guitar. I was able to figure it out, but it really shouldn't come down to a guessing game. Why not put together instructions for a product you offer? In the end I was really pleased with the results, so I can easily recommend it as a replacement for the original pickup. I found after the upgrade that I really liked using both pickups together far more than I did before the upgrade. My Setup: Squier JM Jazzmaster (everything is stock except for this upgrade) Fig Fumb > Silver Archer > Small Clone > Super Moon Fender Bassbreaker 45 combo.
