Overview
Our Jaguar Pickups are some of the highest-end, boutique Jaguar Pickups around. Built and wound by hand from the ground up, we choose the highest-quality magnets and wire we can find. We made sure that these Jaguar replacements are hot and beefy enough to sound great with 1 Meg pots, like the standard factory Jaguars. Carve into your tone even further with 3 output choices as well.
It starts here: Our manufacturing process allows us to achieve unparalleled quality control. Our Jaguar Pickups consist of local fiberboard and USA-Made Alnico 5 Magnets. We wind each pickup by hand, one at a time. Each pickup is wound using our proprietary “Sectioning” technique. This gives the pickup a sweet, clear tone. Finally, we wax-pot the pickup to preserve the pickup and prevent microphonics.
Sound
These pickups are loud! We designed our Jaguar pickups to be pretty high output (6.3K Neck, 7K Bridge) so they’ll sound great with a factory-installed 1Meg volume pot. Our Jaguars are louder and thicker-sounding than our Blues Specials for Strat. On clean, the neck pickup sounds bouncy and rich. Lots of warm low-mids and fat treble strings. The bridge pickup will be just hot enough to play nicely with the neck, while still bring bright and snappy. Both pickups will sound clear and articulate with a 1Meg volume pot, but you can always darken your tone for a jazzier vibe with a 500K pot.
With some overdrive or distortion, expect a lot of “cream” as these Jaguar replacements break up nicely and evenly. The Sound Sample below features our Stock Set. We also offer a +5% Set and a +10% Set. Adding more turns will make this pickup thicker and darker – and louder.
Tech Specs
Wound with 42 Gauge SPN wire, and built on USA-Made Fiberboard with USA -Made Alnico V magnets. Our Stock Neck reads about 6.3K, our Stock Bridge reads about 7K.
Jaguar Necks are wound Top to Winder, or Clockwise from Ground to Hot, and magnetized South to Strings. Jaguar Bridges are wound bottom to Winder and magnetized North to Strings.

Hi. Is the Jaguar set RWRP? Thanks!

Hello … I’m building a Jaguar guitar. I’m using a MJT body Warmoth neck , mastery bridge …. I play with a lot of fuzz. I play through a fender twin reverb. I’ve made a few tele partscasters and I prefer the lower output pickups. Not sure what I should get for the Jaguar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. – Rick Sell

Great. Just like the Fralin: Melody Maker and Strat pickups I already use. I put these and the Mini-Humbucker on a Rosewood Strat from Warmoth.

Hey Rick, I would recommend our Stock Output Jaguar pickups. They have plenty of thickness and will break up nicely with fuzz. That said, they are balanced and have a good amount of top-end as well.
