Hi,

I have a question about the Factory Setup of the Pickups in the Classic Player Jaguar Special HH:

After buying the instrument I played on it for a week or so, then had to bring it to my local guitar dealer for an intonation issue. During that inspection he also changed the PU height (the bridge PU was far too close to the strings) and straightened out the angle at which the PU's where mounted. I (and he probably) naturally assumed that the angle/tilt at which they were mounted was something that had happened during transport or negligence during the assembly process. Thinking about it again I'm not so sure anymore and wonder if people on the forum who also have a Jaguar Special HH (that has not been modified after purchase) could take a look at the PU's for me. Mine came like this (a bit exaggerated on the sketch. but it was definitely more than a nuance, very noticeable):

The neck PU was tilted towards the bridge and I don't remember if the bridge PU was tilted towards the neck or towards the bridge also.

How does this look on other Jaguar HH's? Does someone have specifications for the factory setup of the pickup height (and angle, if any)? Or maybe a manual for the Enforcer Humbucking PU?

Thanks!
Benny

OK, here's another link:

... Could be that it just moved in this position during transport or something... Just wonder how the pickups look on other Classic Player Jaguar Special HH?

anyone? fender support guy (very forthcoming by the way) said he thought it probably moved during transport, but wasn't totally sure that it couldn't be part of the factory setup either. thoughts?
