Guys,
New to the forum, so here goes my first post.
Long story short:
- Swapped the stock EMG's for Dimarzio D-Activators in my Jim Root Tele (H-H)
- Neck is body mounted, bridge is mounted to the pick guard
- Sound greatly improved, but guitar is routed for EMG's and the Dimarzio's appear to be a bit smaller, leaving the Tele looking a bit odd
- Thinking about a swap for a calibrated covered set of Juggernauts
- Will they fit?
Before anyone asks I don't like Periphery, but based on the vids I've seen of the Juggernauts, tonally they might work for me.
Thanks,
James

Hi and welcome.
I personally can see the Juggs work well in teles and all sorts of bright guitars. With a JR one especially it could be lovely.
However it would be very helpful if you would tell us a little more about the sound you want to get and what amp you are using. The Juggs will sound great in there, but right now I canīt tell if it is the sound you want.
Cheers!

Hi Kiichi
Thanks for the quick response.
I like the heavier stuff and am looking for a big, aggressive but defined sound, a pickup that will offer both great rhythm and lead tones. The neck pickup I thought sounded especially good, given I don't normally mess with it.
I typically play through a 6L6 Engl 670, which has huge bottom end.
Cheers!
James.
