Hi there guys, new to this forum, but I've got quite a collection of J/C axes, I do have knowledge about these, but I was always a bit confused about the single coils pickups when it comes to telling some differences between them..
So.. in the beginning I'm referring to 90s Japanese Charvel/Jackson axes.
I've bought a set of Jackson pickups. I thought these were J92 (JH-2) and 2x J100 singles. As far as I were right about the humbucker, the single coils have 12kOhm output each! Whereas J100 has around 6kOhm only.
They're not sealed in the cover like J200, what's more, mine have plain logos, the same as J110 for example..
Looking through the catalogues I found information about different single coils:
- J100 - which we all know, typical single coil, 6kOhm.
- J110 - I always call it a cheaper version of J100, lol. It comes with all low-end Japanese Jackson models (EX/LT Professionals and Concept series, probably a few more)
- J200 - that's the 12kOhm pickups used typically with active circuits. Sealed in a cover.
- J200R - rail humbucker, used in typically Fusion models I think..
And there are 3 pickups I totally do not know. J-100RW, J-120 and J-100VS.. J-100RW being reverse wound J100, but the other two.. I totally have no clue what these might be.
Anyone has these? I would love to get some information about these pickups.
Audiozone.dk (which has some mistakes sometimes, anyway..) tells me that for example Dinky XL had J100VS single coils, along with J92, so I think that my set might be taken from that Dinky.
