Seymour Duncan Antiquity II for Jaguar
High quality detailed replica of a mid 60s grey bottom jaguar pickup. These pickups have been slightly demagnitized to accurately simulate the sound of an aged original. Alnico V magnets. Cloth covered hookup wire.
Curtis Novak Jaguar pickups
High quality custom made vintage replicas. Although based on an original '64 pickup, since they are custom, you can have them wound to suit your specific requirements. Options include Alnico II / III / V magnets, and enamel / formvar wire.
Note: Seymour Duncan pickups are in some cases wound differently than stock pickups, so for instance a SD neck pup and Fender bridge pup might not provide hum cancelling in the middle position, and may have phase issues. Apparently this isn't always the case, but it's something to look out for.

Upgrading MIJ/CIJ guitars
Although the electronics of the japanese offsets work fine, some feel they want to have more reliable and/or vintage correct parts, and popular upgrades include:
-CTS / Fender USA pots
-Switchcraft / Fender USA jacks and switches
-Cloth wire
-Orange drop caps
Improving the shielding is also a popular upgrade, since some aren't shielded at all. Popular options include:
-AVRI brass shielding plates and tubs
-Sticky-back foil (copper / aluminum / brass)
