What is the DC resistance and resonant peak of this pickup?

The SJM-3B has a DC resistance of 13.96 kΩ and a resonant peak at 4 kHz, positioning it in the articulate upper-midrange ideal for clarity and presence in a mix.

Will this pickup work with my Jaguar or Jazzmaster?

Yes—this is a direct replacement for Jaguar bridge pickups and is compatible with Jazzmaster bridge positions as well, requiring no modification to your instrument.

What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?

The Quarter Pound excels in indie, post-punk, surf, and jangly rhythm work, as well as piercing lead tones; it is not recommended for metal or heavy djent applications due to its bright, articulate character.

What makes the Quarter Pound different from vintage Jaguar pickups?

The Quarter Pound delivers higher output and increased midrange clarity compared to vintage specifications while maintaining the bright, snappy single-coil response; the EQ profile (8 Bass / 5 Mid / 7 Treble) is scooped to cut through mixes without muddiness.

Does this pickup come with a cover?

No—the open design with no cover preserves the bright, uncolored response characteristic of Quarter Pound models and maintains the vintage aesthetic of offset guitars.

Tone & Output for Tracking and Mixing

A 13.96 kΩ DC resistance and 4 kHz resonant peak position this pickup in the articulate upper-midrange, delivering definition on rhythm takes and separation on lead layers. The EQ profile of 8/5/7 (Bass/Mid/Treble) emphasizes treble and bass while keeping mids controlled, producing a scooped character that records cleanly across surf, post-punk, and modern indie productions.
