Looking for some recommendations for this Jagmaster I've got here. It's an alder guitar with a maple neck w/rosewood. Unlike the current Jagmaster II, this is a slightly older 25.5" scale jagmaster with a 2 point Fender American Standard style trem. I've been back and forth about keeping it - I had it advertised here at one point. I think I will keep it, but the stock pickups really suck on it - and they're not the Duncan Designed like what you'd get on a new Jagmaster these days.
I play a little of everything - some classic & heavy rock, trio fusion, traditional jazz, and a little prog rock. I really like a versatile pickup that can do distorted rock stuff well, but clean up nice when needed. Here's a few combinations I've considered:
1. Custom5 bridge / 59 neck
2. P-Rails set
3. Screamin' Demon / 59 neck
4. Full shred set
My gut tells me go with the P-Rails, but I've already got a guitar with P-Rails so I'm not sure I need another. So then I started thinking vintage output in the neck with little more punch in the bridge. I do like the custom5 / '59 neck setup. I don't know much about the Screamin Demon other than what I've read. From what I've read, it sounds like a step just beyond a custom 5. The Full Shred set I know nothing about, but again it sounds like it could be kinda cool. The FS set is a high output hot pickup though, so I'm not sure that's going to be right for this.
