Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together in the same guitar?
Yes, the SJM-3N neck and SJM-3B bridge are designed to pair together. The SJM-3N's RWRP configuration automatically hums out when combined with the standard-wound SJM-3B, eliminating the 60-cycle hum without switches or modifications.
What is the key tonal difference between neck and bridge?
The SJM-3N (neck) emphasizes warm midrange sustain with a 5.2 kHz peak and scooped treble, while the SJM-3B (bridge) delivers bright, articulate tones with a 4 kHz peak and boosted treble/bass (8/5/7 EQ) for cutting presence. They complement each other for balanced overall tone.
Which pickup is better for indie and surf music?
Both excel in these genres. The SJM-3B bridge is listed as ideal for indie, post-punk, and surf with its cutting, snappy character. The SJM-3N neck is suited to indie and surf with its warm articulation. Together they cover the full spectrum of modern offset guitar tone.
Do these pickups require modification to install?
No. The SJM-3N is a direct drop-in replacement for Fender American Standard Jazzmaster neck positions. The SJM-3B is designed as a standard bridge replacement. Both use single-conductor PVC cables that connect to existing wiring without additional switches or rewiring.
