Mod work needed; will pay for your services!

So I've been a Jazzmaster guy for years and a back-and-forth Jaguar guy for the same amount of time.

So when Fender Japan started taking pre-orders for a daphne blue Jaguar (via SouthPaw Guitars), i HAD to have one!
But i remember the reason why i didn't stay with the Jaguar sound the first time: the tone.
I actually liked the KC Jaguar, but didn't care for the layout or the fret-job.

So i LOVE MIJ Fenders and I'm thinking of getting this blue Jag (in September-ish) and modding it for either mini-humbuckers or filter'trons. i like both pickup sounds but was curious if anyone could do the mod work for me? I'M TERRIBLE AT WOODWORK, but great at electronics!

That’s a fairly easy job. But may I ask, have you only played/heard Japanese Jaguar pickups? Or was it that you just like Japanese Fenders in general? I’ve had a couple sets of Japanese Jaguar pickups and, to me, they’re the worst. Shrill, thin, ice-picky.

I've had many types of Jaguar pickups: MIJ, AVRI, and the best ones were the Seymour Duncans.
But I'm looking for a humbucker-ish sound (i.e. Filtertrons or Mini-Humbuckers) to vary the sound of my Jazzmaster.
