Jazzmaster-style humbucker pickup

True humbuckers in a Jazzmaster format

Are you a fan of the Jazzmaster format but want to vary the sounds? These Jazzmaster-style humbucker pickups are for you.

Born in the late 1950s, the Jazzmaster was originally conceived as a high-end guitar for jazz musicians. With its wide pickguard, floating bridge, distinctive vibrato, and especially its elongated pickups , it offered unprecedented playing comfort and a warmer, richer sound than the Stratocasters and Telecasters of the time. While it didn't immediately win over the jazz world, the Jazzmaster quickly became an icon of the surf, indie, alternative, and shoegaze scenes, thanks to its unique sonic character and instantly recognizable look.

The Jazzmaster pickup format is distinguished by its large winding surface and flat pole pieces, which generally produces a fuller, more open, and slightly more "hi-fi" sound than classic single-coil pickups. It's a popular format for its comfort under the fingers (especially the right hand) and for the aesthetics it brings to the guitar. Many guitarists love the look and feel of the Jazzmaster but would like to experience the power, tone, and warmth of humbuckers without sacrificing the original format and aesthetics.

That's precisely what these Jazzmaster-sized humbuckers allow you to do. You can adapt our entire range of pickups (and even more upon request) to the Jazzmaster format and transform your instrument by significantly expanding its tonal palette, all while retaining the look and feel characteristic of this legendary model. You maintain the silhouette and size of your Jazzmaster pickups , while gaining in output level, thickness, and noise reduction compared to traditional single-coil pickups.

These fully custom pickups are made from scratch in our workshop and meticulously replicate the sound and construction of genuine humbuckers. They consist of laser-cut coils mounted on nickel/silver baseplates identical to those of traditional humbuckers, with the same screws, inserts, and internal structure. The entire assembly is then integrated into a Jazzmaster format, allowing it to fit directly into your existing pickup cavities without altering the instrument's aesthetics.

In terms of dimensions, they are exactly the same length and width as the Jazzmaster pickups , and only 2 mm taller. This allows for a generally very simple installation, without major modifications to the instrument, while ensuring a magnetic field and dynamics worthy of the best humbuckers.

In summary: you retain everything that makes the Jazzmaster so charming – its size, its look, its history – while giving it the power, warmth and versatility of a true humbucker, entirely custom and handcrafted.
