Ok so I'll be needing to swap out 2 pickups (both bridge position) and I'd most likely want to try out the Jackson stuff. So wats the difference between the 3 of them? All I know is that the J90C is hotter than the J50BC but what about the J80C?

Also where could I find the wiring diagrams for these?

I can't answer specifically.

All I know is that I have all 3 of them.
I prefer the J-90C over the J-50BC.

And as far as the J-80C is concerned I don't know yet because I haven't installed it.
I've read that it is the best of those three.

This might not help but it's better than nothing right ?

Haha, thx anyways dude. I actually want to know more about the J80C as I've just came across it a while ago and have no idea what it is and want more info on it
 
I don't know. I like the J-50BC the most in all recordings except the 2nd where I like the J-80 more. Don't know what to think about the J-90... Don't really like it because it's too bassy and doesn't have this crunchy tone
 
You can avoid annoying background noise or too much feedback when you:

a) remove the backplate
b) use high quality cables
c) avoid to play in an environment with too much electric stuff (like pc, notebook, tv, radio, hi-fi equipment, all kind of electronical stuff)
d) use aluminium foil or special shilding foil for your guitar electronics (around your pickup, gainboost,...)
e) use newer pickups
f) use thicker strings

The problem with those J-50BC pickups is that they are really old, so what do you expect? When you use EMG pickups you can be sure that you have nearly no feedback or something like taht because their shilding is the best you can get of all pickups out now

On point "C" it's not necessary to have em off, but plugged in on diferent place than where your plug in your guitar stuff. I don't know how to explain this, but you know there are those things that let you put in 4-5 plugs in one thing and then you connect it to some of your plugs in your house. So my point is that if you gonna use one of those, use it only for your amp, effects w/e, and use other one for TV or whatever you gonna plug in there. That way you avoid all the noise signals that come from those high electricity consuming products.
 
I recently got jackson RR shaped guitar. The stock pickups sound like shit compared to the J80C ones.
