A2pro to jazz conversion

[madguitar26]

i have an alnico 2 pro humbucker in ther neck of my schecter c-1 and thinking of converting it to a jazz for a clearer ,less dark tone.

ive read somewhere that they are basicly the same(except for the magnet type),is this true?

if so,will i have to switch only the magnets from A2 to A5,or something else as well?

The A2 Pro with an A5 magnet sure didnt sound like a Jazz to me.

Jazz and APH are definitely not the same thing.

A Bridge APH with A5 sounds like a 59 but apparently the neck doesn't (didn't try the neck).

ive used the search in the forum and there are several topics with the a2pro to jazz mag swap.

you guys sure they´re not alike?

I tested a Jazz with all Alnico variants. All but A5 sound like wack. A2 doesn't sound close to the APH.

I support the theory that this is a very special wind and possibly awg43. It is not something close to a PAF coil setup.

I very seriously doubt the jazz is 43 or it would sound a lot weaker. Maaaaybe 42.5 if Duncan uses such a gauge (which does exist). I figure it's just a brighter wind pattern.
