1958 Alnico 2 Jazzmaster Pickups: Classic Tone with Vintage Character

The 1958 Alnico 2 Jazzmaster pickups are the classic “pancake” design — a style you either love or hate. These vintage-correct pickups are crafted with precision in-house, featuring the slimmer winding area of the original bobbins, setting them apart from modern reproductions. This distinct winding technique results in a fat, mid-forward tone that stays true to the original Jazzmaster sound, rather than the “Strat-like” clarity found in many contemporary copies.

Using Alnico 2 magnets, these pickups soften the treble attack, giving you a smoother, more refined tone compared to the punchier ‘63-set. The result is a beautifully balanced midrange with a percussive, resonant low-end that makes your guitar sing with vintage warmth and depth. Whether you’re playing clean, crunchy, or everything in between, these pickups capture the true essence of early Jazzmaster tone.

Ideal for players looking for a more nuanced, traditional sound, the 1958 Alnico 2 pickups deliver an expressive playing experience that bridges the gap between vintage warmth and modern versatility.
