To choose the best guitar pickups for Alternative Rock, Indie, or Pop, we need to define the sound of the genres. Luckily, ever since these genres' ‘90s heyday, Fender’s famous offset guitars remain part of the scene’s sonic signature. You’ll find Mustangs, Jaguars, and even JagStangs fronting countless Alt. Rock and Indie bands.

But none of them quite boast the legacy of the Jazzmaster. From the alt-pop of Vampire Weekend to noise pioneers Sonic Youth, this offset gem always delivers its clear and precise, yet massive and untamed voice. For those reasons, we consider Jazzmaster pickups to be among the best guitar pickups for Alternative Rock, Indie, and Pop.
