Title: Which one single coil pickup will be match the Juggernaut??
Post by: atsui on February 21, 2014, 07:17:28 AM

Hey guys

my guitar is Caparison CL13 Angelus.
Mahogany body and neck / maple fingerboard.
but it's S/H pickups style.
I want to load the Juggernaut in the bridge, but I had no idea which one single coil can be better ?

I need some suggestion.
Thanks

Atsui

I like S/H style - gives you the powerful bridge humbucker and a clear neck tone, and get that d... middle pickup out of the way ;) I am actually in the process of converting a strat to S/H with the Black Dog at the bridge and a Slowhand bridge at the neck. Should come out great.

The Juggernaut is a new design so there is not yet a specified HSS suggestion from BKP. You could take a guidance from what they combine with the Holydiver, the Nailbomb or the Miracle Man - that puts Irish Tour and Trilogy Suite into focus. From the clips I heard the Irish Tour is an overwound single coil and sounds as such, whereas the Trilogy is hotter, warmer and more modern sounding. Since the Jug is also a modern design I believe the Trilogy would be a good match.

I'd strongly recommend enquiring with the BKP team about this, because you want to avoid to run into volume balance problems. With single coils, this can be a real bummer.

The Crawler-bridge and IT-neck in my strat match quite well. I don't know how much balls the Juggernaut has, but I can imagine it's bolder than the Crawler. I think you need TS or Sinner for a good volumebalance. They are closer in character to the Juggernaut too. Like Alex suggest, it's good to contact BKP. Maybe they come up with some tricks if you want a vintage(hot) singlecoil.
