I¡¯ve said this before but I¡¯ll repeat it. The best pickup for jazz is the Lollar HighWind Humbucker. The HightWind name throws people off but this pickup was designed for one of my guitars ago and was specifically designed for jazz although in truth this pickup just sounds great on anything but especially so in a jazz guitar application. It was designed several years ago and was the result of pretty extensive testing against some of the of the best known designs available and this pickup wins hands down in my opinion. I use them on all my archtops, my 137 and on the Telecaster that I sometimes use for jazz or blues.

Anyone have experience with this pickup? They are a C note on the
gear slut pages. Are they what they claim? Got a chinese cheapie and
the neck pu is muddy sounding compared to a real non vintage LP I
heard a while back.
