JMJM pickup swap

Post by 601210 » Sat Sep 30, 2017 2:18 am

I asked this in the Mascis Mods thread but didn't really get a response.

Will the pickup mounting hardware (screws, pickup covers, foam) on the SQJMJM work for USA spec pickups? I know they're not really built like a regular JM pickup so the concern is that stuff like the polepieces won't fit.

I know Duncans for one don't come with covers, so it would be nice to know if I can use the existing ones or if I'll have to order those, too.

They should fit just fine.

Fit issues with pickup covers seem to be limited to:

- some of the Fender Japan Jazzmaster covers having slightly narrower polepiece spacing than Fender USA/Seymour Duncan.

- Seymour Duncan 'Quarter Pounder' varieties with the oversized (larger diameter) polepieces.
