Re: The 'real' Jazz pickup
here's something to think about though, when you think about a jazz guitar I would imagine you'd think of a hollow-body archtop guitar with a single PAF neck HB. I don't think you could ever really get that natural sound & smoothness from any bridge position simply because it's in the bridge. To get what I'm saying pluck your strings very close to your bridge/saddles unplugged, getting a jazzy sound from there would have to be some very proccesed sound like a piezo pup system. There are guys though that use their bridge pup for jazz and stuff (beck, santana etc.) but the tone isn't traditional mellow jazz. see what I'm sayin
