A JB/Jazz Hybrid?

[beaubrummels]

Yeah I checked my notes, thanks for confirming Can I ask you a favor? Do you mind posting/giving me a photo of this guitar in a good quality, where the guitar is photographed vertically and in its totality? I'm working on an overview of all of my guitars. If you don't have it, no worries, I'll just nick the one you posted here!

I don't have an existing snap handy, but I'll have to set something up when I get a chance and post it.

Every time the forum pup idea is resurrected I can't help but think a mini run of 59/Jazz would be a lot better

Pegasus / Custom sounds interesting. Does it have the custom Slug coil like the SH-16 or the other way around?

I used to have a PRS Korina McCarty with a 59n (screw)/Jazzn (slug). It was nice, but the 59 coil seemed to dominate the overall sound. Perhaps it would’ve paired better with a Jazz bridge slug coil…

No experience with JB / Jazz hybrid for me.

But by nature, any humbucker with two distinctively different coils should be able to deliver two different tones.

I'm not even thinking to split coils.

I mean that if the screws coils is grounded and the slugs coil is hot, the pickup shouldn't have the same response than grounded slugs coil + hot screws coil + RP magnet.

The principle at work is the same than in Dual-Resonance DiMarzio pickups, for the record.

It's not difficult to try: swap the hot and ground wires, reverse the magnet. Then play and listen.

Even pickups with totally symetrical coils might sound different with reverse wiring and polarity, actually. And no, it's not the kind of things that engineers can measure while players wouldn't hear it - any competent engineer would measure only things that one can hear, otherwize measurements are obviously useless.

Compared to the Jazz n that I had in it previously, the 59n/Jazz n hybrid seems to have a bit more meat to it while still having a nice chime.

I am curious to this hybrid, but i will wait for some demo videos to pop up before i make a move on one. I can see this one being VERY wood sensitive.
