Title: Jugg bridge in a Les Paul?
Post by: Serratus on July 04, 2016, 05:31:09 PM

Just want a few opinions please :)

My son loves the Jugg in his ash 7-string for the clear string definition with gain, particularly on low notes (very djent! lol).

He's just bought a Gibson Les Paul BFG, which is a stripped back LP with a chambered mahogany body, maple top, mahogany set neck.

So he is thinking about another Jugg in the LP, but do you think it might be a bit dark? Would a Cold sweat or Miracle man still have that string definition like the Jugg?

He plays rock and metal mainly, through a H&K tubemeister.

Thanks :)

I would suggest either the trusted Holydiver/Emerald combo or if he'd prefer something a little more 'classic' sounding, a Cold Sweat set takes some beating in a Les Paul.

Own a Les Paul and owned the Juggernaut.  The Juggernaut has plenty of cut and definition to my ears show it would sound I don't know but it definitely wouldn't be dark or muddy or any thing like that.

I think it would work very well.

Can't go wrong with a cold sweat in a les paul though

Thanks guys - I am leaning towards the Jugg still, at the moment.

(oh, and we can't go with an Emerald neck as it's a p90 rout at the neck)

In that case the Stockholm in the P90 size would be a great combination:)

Cold Sweat / Nantucket could be a good combo

Tim has suggested that the cold sweat would probably be the best option, either with a supermassive, Nantucket, or blue note neck :)
