Title: putting bareknuckle juggernauts in my ibanez...
Post by: taysil11 on January 31, 2014, 01:41:59 AM

I haven't bought them yet, and I'm afraid they might not fit in. Anyone have experience putting them in an S model? I have a S7420QM. I'm mostly worried about

1) the pickup height (if it's too tall) and
2) where you screw the pickup in itself. is this a standardized length?

Thanks for any help provided! I trust my measurements but would feel more comfortable if someone else had experience!

Contact BKP directly.  There are several different mounts and they will also be able to give you dimensions

You will also want one of the pickups to be reverse magnetic polarity if your Ibanez has a 5 position switch - this is important to get all the sounds right

Thank you both, I will definitely contact them concerning the pick up mounts. I plan on working with a good luthier to install these for sure!

I've put both long and short legged PUs in an S series Ibanez. Fit fine.

I did have to shorten the mounting springs to get them to the right height though which is not a big problem.
