Jazzmaster humbucker adapter rings

Post by RolandJC120 »

Do these exist for dropping a normal humbucker into a Jazzmaster pickup size hole? Probably a dumb reason why they don't exist that I have missed.

Why not just get a new pickguard? I get that there are aesthetic considerations but imo the size difference between a humbucker and a jazzmasterpup would just make it ugly
imagine finding out your son is your daughter & she's into noise music

Jazzmaster pickups routes aren’t deep enough to accommodate humbuckers in many cases, fyi. That being said, if the routes are deep enough, some folks buy Jazzmaster pickup covers and chop humbucker-sized holes in them and mount the humbuckers to the Jazzmaster covers.

I went with a custom pickguard from Tone-Guard for mine.
