It appears they are now fitting these with Rosswell Jazzmaster pups and not P90s. If so then that makes these even more desirable.

I know the original Jazzmaster has pick-ups which are not P90, only similar looking covers but I see not indication that the HB would try to emulate this.

Jazz master pups say you ?! Will snatch one as soon they swap that bloody Blackwood for Ovangkol or even Roseacer.

I'm coming from my recording home studio session for testing just the HB Ja60 and I have the sound of this guitar in my ears. What can i say ... Mine JA is equipped with Roswell P90 (for my the sound it's -enough- nice). What I really like of this guitar it's the freatboard that it's lovely for tasting by the my left hand. I need time to really judge these HB (the Ja 60 and the SC custom) ... perhaps I start to prefer the sound of the P90 of this Ja 60? But what i really know is that whatever they may be ... I still have some money in my pocket.

A lad on Facebook posted a pic of his new JA60 roberto - Do yours look like these or they look like regular P90s (with the adjustment screws in the pickup itself)?

They have different characteristics from the Roswell P90s too:

Mine look like regular P90s - with the adjustment screws and with high output (probably the P90S-BT in the picture above) but with yellow cover.

But is it possible that the pickups and cover cost as much as the guitar? Roswell's site stated the price of 46$ for a single pick-up plus 4,80$ for cover

and also ... Thomann stated the pickups are P90 Vintage style but Roswell for this p90 raccomanded: P90S-B-IV High output P-90. Excellent for modern country, heavy blues, classic rock, hard rock, punk, garage and metal ?

Roswell's site stated the price of 46$ for a single pick-up plus 4,80$ for cover They are sold whatever people are willing to pay, just like anything else. The industry for after-market pick-ups targets a special kind. Thomann gets them at a fraction, of course and it wouldn't be the first time their products improve before their description.

There is a significant difference in character. I guess I could be happy with P90s.
Of course the Jazzmaster sounds completely different:
