I want a jazz neck in zebras with out the logo. Rather than paying extra and waiting for a shop floor custom, could I put an A5 in as A2Pto and have the same sound? Reason I ask is the a2p appears to come standard without the logo.

No announcement yet.
Are the Alnico Pro2 and Jazz the same other than the magnet?

Yes.
And the Custom Series is the same except for the magnets as well:
Custom = Ceramic
C5 = A5

Thank you for posting, and to everyone that answered this. I have been on this forum for years and I have heard so many conflicting things about whether or not the wind is any different between these two pups. I've always been hesitant to try an A2 in my beloved Jazz because, but now that this is confirmed I am going to try an A2P for the first time!
I was one of the probably of thousands of kids that started playing guitar because of Slash's lead work on Appetite For Destruction. I've always known that he used that set throughout his career and partially because of this I've always wanted to try different pickups to not be that guy playing a Les Paul with A2Ps into a Marshall playing Sweet Child O' Mine
But now that I know all I need to do is order an alnico 2, I'm definitely psyched to finally try one. The Jazz with a rough cast, unoriented A5 is absolutely my favorite Les Paul neck pickup I have ever tried, so unless it really sings I'll almost definitely swap it back, but I love that with a Custom/Jazz and a few magnets you can sample 5 pickups and settle on the combo you like best.Last edited by oilpit; 05-01-2021, 07:46 PM.Originally posted by jcthejester13Some musicians are good, and some are not so good.

A2 is the best for me, but I also recommend getting different magnets, as this wind can can sound drastically different with magnet swaps.Administrator of the SDUGF

A2, A4, A5 all work great depending on the application

There's a post on here by (at the time) Duncan employees that publicly relayed the story that the A2P/Jazz was confirmed as the same wind during the tests for Slash's pickup set. I believe it was Evan Skopp that relayed the conversation. If you search, you can find it.Originally posted by jcthejester13Some musicians are good, and some are not so good.
