    I am looking to upgrade the JS type neck mount pickup on my Godin 5th Ave. Jazz.
    What is out there? So far I know of:

    Bartolini
    Kent Armstrong hand made
    Lollar
    Guyker
    Pete Biltoft a Vintage Vibe
    Seymore Duncan Johnny Smith/floating pickup

    Any others?

    Thanks

    Doug

    Pete Biltoft a Vintage Vibe makes a nice JS style pickup. He also makes other pickups in the same casing i.e. P-90 and goldfoils). His prices are pretty reasonable too.

    Seymore Duncan makes one also. One came on my 1950 Epiphone but I use the guitar as an acoustic only. Anyone use one of these? I never hear much about these. It could be for sale.
    Thanks John

    Had a JS KA handwired on my L5C. Changed it for a custom made Pete Biltoft CC floater. Will never go back.

    Guild DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1100. I have this pickup in my Forshage archtop and it sounds wonderful.
