    Man, Lemmo’s playing is out of this world. Taking each diff model, paired with the genius of Tim Shaw cunife pickups, you just kinda melt away with each strum and note plucked. I love every pickup you’ve done, but these are in another stratosphere. Imagine if Jimi was still alive with these pups?!?! You guys have KNOCKED these out of the park.

    I’m really glad they started making the wide range pickups with the magnetic screws again. I hated that period where companies were offering all these pickups that “looked like” old originals, but were just normal modern designs underneath - normal humbuckers in Wide Range covers, normal single coils in gold foil covers… that whole era of fake vintage stuff really bugged me.

    Two things that I wish Fender would make someday: CuNife Jaguar pickups and single coil-sized Humbuckers. I love buying single coil sized humbuckers from Seymour Duncan, but I'd love to buy some straight from Fender. I'd especially love it if they designed a single coil-sized humbucker specifically for Jaguars. That would be a dream come true. Seymour Duncan doesn't even make single coil-sized humbuckers for Jaguars. You can use the Strat versions, but I just feel like Jaguars don't get enough love. They're perfect guitars for modding.

    • @hollymartins6913

      I imagine it's the short scale that puts a lot of people off. It's a beautiful instrument, it has that classic-yet-forward-looking early '60's Fender look, and they're well built. I sat down with an equal value Jazzmaster and Jaguar in a music store, and spent a little time with both and the Jazzmaster with the regular Fender 25 & 1/2 scale just felt more comfortable, and I prefer the Jazzmaster pickup's tone also, but tone is subjective. The Jaguar just felt to cramped for my big hands. But a beautiful guitar, nonetheless.

    At first, I wasn't sure how much of a difference these would make but I'm very impressed by the changes I hear. They're definitely noticeable and they sound great. They won't necessarily replace the originals but they never needed to. These are a great alternative with a lot of character you don't get from the traditional pickups. I can easily see people having another guitar just for these pickups.

      He’s right Fender just reintroduced the authentic Wide Range Humbuckers a couple of years ago. That being said, they have had guitars at every price range with pickups they called Wide Range Humbuckers since the 90s, but they weren’t the real thing.
