It's really easy to fit. The newer models don't even require soldering, just a very small flat head screwdriver (you can get one at Maplin for about £1), 5 cables to attach, that's all. So if you are able to cut the original cables and peel off a few mm of plastic from the end of each, you'll be able to do it yourself. It comes with instructions.

The difference between the J and DJ retro is the plate. The Lakland one (DJ) is slighly curved compared to a standard Jazz... so a standard J Retro with the standard plate will not fit. You need the DJ Retro. Or a J Retro and a separate DJ plate. Or drill a couple of holes on your existing plate to fit the switches... Simplest is to get the DJ-Retro to start with.
