This muscular vintage pickup produces a sound with a big girth and prominent highs; it excels for rock, virtuoso instrumental, blues, you name it, even Jazz. Boxing glove attack and terrific twang with piano mid-tones galore, which turns into a low-note growl under higher gain. That nasty, jagged ice-pick-in-the-ear annoyance that makes your ears hurt is avoided. Still, paradoxically, the prominent highs are quite outstanding and possess a silky purity in which ordinary single coils pale in comparison. It has quite a percussive feel. It doesn't matter if your playing style is slow and soulful, fast and furious, bluesy, rock, or virtuoso, the Mod-Jag will satisfy all kinds, including demanding virtuoso players.
