So I just put this JR Sig on lay away at a pawnshop yesterday.
I wasn't in the market for a new guitar and much less a JR Jazzmaster I didn't know even existed.
But when I saw it hanging up on the wall and what it was tagged for, I did a quick used price search for this year and model.
I realized they had it priced about $400 under market, and I figured I could get them down A LOT more from there.
Long story short, I ended up putting this guitar on lay away for a "CRAZY STUPID LOW" price.
So I really LOVE the look of this JR Jazzmaster, and I even love the contrast of the EMG pickup covers with the Black color of the guitar.
What I'm not a fan of, and have never ever been, is active EMG pickups.
I already know that the 60/81 EMG's in this guitar are HOT, and I know I won't like them at all.
I'm thinking of installing a SD '59 in the neck and a Pearly Gates in the bridge, because I'm after Classic 70's rock tones.
Any thoughts on this paring or other alternate pairings are welcome.
Here's some pics of my soon to be modded JR Jazzmaster.
