1963 Alnico 5 Jazzmaster Pickups: Classic Snap with Vintage Sparkle

The 1963 Alnico 5 Jazzmaster pickups are the classic “pancake” design — a style that you either love or hate. These vintage-correct pickups are crafted in-house with precision, featuring the original-style bobbins with a slimmer winding area. This design sets them apart from modern reproductions, delivering a fat, mid-forward tone that stays true to the original Jazzmaster sound, as opposed to the “Strat-like” clarity found in many contemporary versions.

Made with Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups provide a brighter, glassier tone compared to the ‘58 set, adding a sharpness and sparkle that makes them perfect for players who crave quicker attack and greater snap. The result is a clear, articulate response with extra bite, making them ideal for everything from shimmering clean tones to punchy, dynamic overdrive.

The 1963 Jazzmaster pickups are designed for players who love the vintage snap and clarity of the era — they offer a distinctive tonal edge, delivering a snappy, percussive low-end and a sparkling high-end that cuts through the mix without losing warmth. If you’re looking for a pickup set that combines vintage tone with modern playability, the 1963 Alnico 5 Jazzmaster pickups deliver the perfect balance.
