Punk-Jag ~ Zero-Hum
The Punk-Jag delivers the sharp, percussive attack for a great Punk sound. Archetype Non-Aged Fender sound delivers exceptional dynamic range and explosive thwack attack, excellent transparent piano mid tones and harmonic ring, outstanding twang, sweet glassy highs without any Ice-pick. This Zero-Hum Jaguar* for Punk is like our non-aged-sound Texas Jalapeno v3 Strat* pickup, but because Jags have a shorter scale length the sound will be deeper, more throaty. Also our's has staggered magnets which give you nicely balanced string output levels which we know you are gonna dig. Magnum Opus sets now available in the Mixed Sets order form. The Magnum Opus versions are especially valuable for Jaguars because the low string tension of Jags more easily cause Torn Cone Syndrome (TCS) and like our Magnums for Stratocaster, incorporate our TCS Inhibiting technology and have a bit extra oomph and presence. There is no doubt these are the finest Jaguar pickups available.
Laser engraved nomenclature so you won't forget what powers your Jaguar COVERS news Dec-22: We now have our own Jaguar covers that don't require modifying the opening in the pickguard like all generic covers do. Available in White, Aged White, Parchment, Gibson Cream and Black. We can now supply 52.5mm, 51mm and 49.5mm magnet spreads in any of our 5 colors to suit any type of bridge (wide vintage or modern narrow such as Mastery, Tune-O-Matic and so on)
IMPORTANT info for you: Jaguars short scale results in lower string tension which produces more string crash and pitch warble however Kinmans proprietary Alnico-K** low strength magnets reduce string crash and buzz as well as allow longer sustain and minimize pitch warble. Technical & Application info:Kinman pickups for Jaguar are direct replacements and no modification to the guitar or the openings in the pickguard is required like all generic covers. Some people will call these noiseless Jaguar pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum Jaguar pickups. That's because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is cancelled in the pickup and Buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars ** Alnico-K is a unique proprietary rod magnet developed by Kinman in 1985. It is Alnico-5 but has 40% less string pull than Alnico-5 so sustain is longer and there is much less clatter from string crash and no Strat-itis string warble.

We highly recommend consulting the Install Guide in the Technical section even if you think you know it all. Kinmans' require a little bit of specialized knowledge and sometimes there is updated info. We also highly recommend consulting the Adjust & Set-up page also in the Technical section so you get the best out of your Kinman pickups.
