From the Fender website:
Electronics

Pickup Configuration: S/S
Bridge Pickup: Special Design American Vintage Jazzmaster® Single-Coil Pickup
Neck Pickup: Special Design American Vintage Jazzmaster® Single-Coil Pickup
Pickup Switching: 3-Position Toggle: Position 1. Bridge Pickup, Position 2. Bridge and Neck Pickups, Position 3. Neck Pickup; 2-Position Slide: Up: Lead Tone Circuit, Down: Rhythm Tone Circuit
Controls: "Lead" Circuit: Volume, Tone. "Rhythm" Circuit: Volume, Tone


From Wikipedia:
"The Jazzmaster had unique wide, white pickups that were unlike any other single coil. Jazzmaster pickups are often confused with Gibson's P-90 pickups. Although they look similar, they are constructed differently. Whereas the polepieces of the JM pickups are magnets, the P-90 has its magnets placed underneath the coil. The JM coil is wound flat and wide (moreso than the P-90), in contrast to Fender's usual tall and thin coils. This gives them a warmer tone without losing their single coil clarity. The Jazzmaster has a mellower, jazzier tone than the Strat, although it was not widely embraced by jazz musicians. Instead, rock guitarists adopted it for surf rock. The Ventures, The Surfaris, and The Fireballs were prominent Jazzmaster users."

I think people tend to just say "jazzmaster pickup", at least if you do people will know what you mean.

Since that is from the Fender Website, I would guess that's what they're called. I've always heard them called "Jazzmaster pickups"

The fact that you purchased a guitar without even knowing what the pickups are fills me with rage.

The Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster has P90s in it. But most Jazzmasters have Jazzmaster pickups.

I know that their single coils though.
Pretty much only Jazzmasters have those pups.
I think I've heard them been called "soap bar" pickups too, I'm not sure?


The Marauder has a Jazzmaster pickup in the neck position.

Well all a P90 is, is a big singlecoil pickup. Big magnet under a wide coil with seperate polepieces.
The Jazzmaster conversely has magnetic polepieces, traditional to Fender construction. And the coil wrapped around those.

Aside from that, it's pretty clear to see where Fender got the idea for the Jazzmaster pickups. Does it matter what their called if you like the sound of them?
Nice guitar BTW.
