NPVJ5 Vintage Single Coil (J) Set

  • This pickup combination challenges the tenacity of precision with the classic growl of jazz. The single coil jazz pickup will announce its presence by creating noise when combined with the P pickup, which is actually essential to the creation of the classic P/J sound. The sum of this pickup combo's overall tone is pretty similar to our other P/J models; however, in the presence of the P pickup, the single coil J becomes rowdy, growly, and tad bit rude - unforgiving in its output but apologetic in the delivery of its soulful high end. If you don't mind the noise that succeeds these two riled up playmates, then this P/J combo will without a doubt satisfy you with its tuneful expression and classic style.

    Technical Details:

    • NP5v pickup and an NJ5 bridge position as a set.
    • Smaller magnet load in the NP5v.
    • 19mm string spacing standard
    • Alnico III or V magnets.
      • Alnico III: will provide a blanket of warmth for your pickup, giving it a slightly softer character.
      • Alnico V: an all around interactive and striking tone.
    • Drop-in P/J combo replacement pickups.
    • Available in black plastic covers.

    History: This P/J design stems from the arrival of our NP5v a few years back, when we decided to check out the tone we could create by pairing these new lower output P pickups with our standard J. The result is a tone that is extremely similar to the NPJ5, only the decreased magnet load in the P pickup provides a smoother neck tone that aggravates the growl of the J pickup.
