Hey guys,
Just thought I would post my Review of a JB, Reg spaced pickup I installed in my Alder superstrat, one piece maple neck, FLoyd. Let me preface this that I initially installed a C-5 in it and it was way too bright for my liking. I ended up swapping magnets to an A-2 making it a C/C. It tamed the brightness but s a little compressed. I was looking for a crunchy, Raw Jake E. Lee tone with this guitar. I was afraid the JB would be ice picky with a 500K Pot. Well I installed it today. It sounds great, not bright at all, very pronounced upper mids which I love. Very Crunchy and alot more articulate than the C/C in this guitar almost made the C/C sound muddy. After playing it I won't be changing the Magnets or anything else. Amazing how different pickups can be due to windings and wire size. I was all ready to dislike the JB going on past experience, well seems my memory was wrong. I am very impressed with the JB it fits my playing style great.
I also want to say Lew here on the forum where I bought the pickup is a very stand up guy and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again.
I hope this help some guys sitting on the fence over a JB.
