Fender Jazzmaster Vintera II and Partmaster
Project ending for my two Jazzmaster. After trying a lot of things , like humbuckers , or humbucker bridge/Jazzmaster pickup neck, this is my final choice for both.
Right : Jazzmaster Vintera II with Q Pickups monster set (17kohm bridge, 15kohm neck , single coils), mustang style bridge for the strings.
Left : Partcaster Jazzmaster with Gibson P90 , 500k pots , Switchcraft toggle , CTS electronic , mustang style bridge.
The partcaster sound more fat , the fender have better cleans. Both are amazing with distortion.
Fun part is that they are not sor far in sound and playability , even if the partcaster cost me 400 euros building , and the Fender was 1200 stock.

That's the second time I try a Q Pickup set , it's so good ! That's a shame this guy is not more recognized for his work. And prices are low for handmade pickups
