59BJ- '59 bridge or jazz bridge?

**7turns** · 08-21-2005, 07:25 PM

I've got a bridge pickup to try that I was told was a jazz bridge. The code on the sticker the back is 59BJ. Which reminded me that I have another SD 59 I got off ebay that was told to me to be a neck position p/u. It has 59NJ on the sticker on the back. So are these really older 59's or jazz pickups?
thanks,
matt

It's a 59, and I think they used to put a J on the model number on certain pickups, but I never understood why.

J means MJ wound it.

Yup, you have a 59 bridge and a 59 neck, and J indentifies the person who made them:
