Schuyler Dean Announces Jazzmaster Chromium Pickup

Schuyler Dean has announced its Jazzmaster Chromium pickup, which the company touts as “great for players looking for a humbucking option that preserves the ‘Fender sound’ of their Jazzmaster,”

Based on Seth Lover’s ‘70s-era Wide Range Humbuckers, the Jazzmaster Chromium employs high-output coils paired with adjustable magnetized poles, giving the humbuckers more chime and clarity than a standard PAF. The coils can also be split, offering a single-coil sound.

He has authored several additional books, among them Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, the companion to the documentary of the same name.
