Yeah, I really like those Ibanez JM's. Are those bar magnet pickups like a P90?

Here's my #1. I'm still sorting out a sticking trem, but otherwise it's fun:

Sorry, I didn't see your question. I have no idea if the pickups are bar magnet. I have looked under the hood, but it was a while ago. These pickups are made by Maxon, and are much warmer sounding than the vintage Jazzmaster pickups. They don't really sound like P90s either, and are far more quieter than both JM an P90 pickups. On the next string change I will take some photos.

My September '64 Jazzmaster
All original exept a refin, refret and pat pend trem with the shorter spring
rather heavy for a pre cbs Jazzmaster at 8.6 lb, but this one surpasses all other Jazzmasters I had before
I love it!

That thing is lovely! Such a classic yet not at all boring combo, white and tort.

I have a pair of those pickups in my parts stash- your question prompted me to pop the back off one of them to take a look, and yep they're P90- style.

The faded-out sunburst of the late 50s is very cool.

My favorite.. an all original '65 Olympic white Jag:

A VERY close second is my trusty '64 Jazzmaster. If the house were on fire and I had to grab only one, they would both probably burn (and so would I) because I would be frozen with indecision as to which to save.

Both look great, but that Jag is just amazing!

My '59.
Stick a fork in me. I'm done. This is the pinnacle of Jazzmasterdom.


Here's my number one of the last three years. Sadly, I just sold to fund the purchase of another vintage Jazzmaster.
