The Antiquity Sound: Pickup Upgrade on My Squier Classic Vibe Jazzmaster®

I've owned two Jazzmasters before this one, but I think this is the one I'll be sticking with. I’ve finally found the tone I've been chasing: thick, warm, and rich! The Seymour Duncan Antiquity™ I pickups were the final touch that made this guitar perfect for me. It's also incredibly comfortable to play (though I did sand the sticky neck for a smoother feel), and holding this guitar gives me a fresh sense of creativity and perspective. In addition to the pickups, I upgraded the nut, string trees, and saddle with Graphtech components. I also swapped out the tremolo system for a Fender Japan '62 Jaguar/Jazzmaster® Vibrato Tailpiece (026-4248-000). The tech, Dax, who did the work, also added a Mylar tone capacitor (0.047uf microfarad) to tame the highs just right. This guitar is definitely going to be a mainstay in my collection. Thanks for watching!
