I was wondering if you could put a stratocaster pickup in the place of a Jaguar pickup on a jaguar. I was thingking of putting a Seymour duncan strat pickup on a Jag. Would this work?

Jaguar pickups are shaped like this:

Whereas Strat pickups are shaped like this:

Note the difference of the bottom of either pickup.

Duncan does have some Strat pickups shaped like Jaguar pickups. The SSL-5 is one such example. Check his site but keep the shapes in mind.

Hope this helps.

the strat pup is too short, and jag pickups mount directly to the body instead of to the pickguard (like a strat). i guess it would work, but it might look odd, and be too shallow for the jag hole.

cheers.

Install springs on the mounting/height adjustment screws underneath the pickup and above the body.

It will work. I have done it. There's another thread here where I posted pix. It's not an easy swap but it works just fine. I'll find the other thread and post the link here so you can see the pix.
