Due to the fantastic weather that we've been having I thought that I'd have to wait till after Christmas for my shuker jazz. I've just got off the phone to my local delivery depo and even though they won't be delivering it too me they said I could collect it. As soon as work is over I'll be on my way to collect my new baby. Can't wait

Good news. Remember to bring it up to temperature slowly before opening the case!

It'll probably be alright long term if you open it up straight away but the sudden change in temperature and moisture levels might play havoc with the tuning and neck relief for a few hours as the strings and truss rod get up to room temperature.

Don't be tempted to make any setup changes until it's settled down a bit!

I'll put the heaters on in the car on the way home that should warm it up nicely

Oh yes!! I had a pair of them in the moo-moo jazz I've just sold on ebay. They have, in my opinion the best vintage accurate sound of any other aftermarket jazz pickups, and I've tried the lot, from Bartoloni's to Lollar and anything in between. That Seymour Duncan sure is a clever so and so.

The STK J1's comes with 4 conductor wires meaning that you could have each of them wired in either seires or parallel, of course to do that you would need either mini toggle switches or a stealth solution would be to have push-pull volume knobs to switch between series and parallel. When you have both pickups in series the sound is VERY powerful and kickass! :)
