Soldering
The route fits. This guitar's string spacing sits above the point where the makers recommend F-spaced pole alignment, so order the F-spaced version rather than standard spacing, and check the listing states which one you're getting.
Why we say this
The Player Jazzmaster has a standard humbucker route rather than the narrower Jazzmaster single-coil slot, so the pickup body fits the cavity. Its string spacing is 52mm, above the roughly 50.8mm threshold at which Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio both recommend F-spaced pole alignment, so the F-spaced version is the correct one here. Retailer listings do not always separate the two spacings clearly, so the spacing needs checking at the point of purchase.

Why we say this
The SE Custom 24's string spacing is 52.4mm, above the roughly 50.8mm threshold at which Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio both recommend F-spaced pole alignment, so the F-spaced version is the correct one here. The trigger is the spacing figure rather than the presence of a tremolo. Retailer listings do not always separate the two spacings clearly, so the spacing needs checking at the point of purchase.

Soldering
This guitar ships with active electronics. Moving to a passive pickup like this one means rewiring the guitar and removing the battery box, more work than a straight pickup swap.
Why we say this
Switching from the stock active EMG wiring to a passive humbucker means removing the active wiring and battery box and rewiring for passive electronics, not just a pickup swap.
