I have ordert a set of Juggernaut for my Jacskon KV2 (Alder body, quartersawn eastern hard rock maple neck-thru-body, compound-radius ebony fingerboard). I just get a little worrid if they a to djent-ish and wont fit the heavy-style and the shred
e i like to play. My other guitars are loaded with mm and one with cb/cs. What do you guys think?

From what I heard hear over time they are not djent-ish. Hailed as being very versatile for any modern rock and metal application even. Their EQ curve also does not appear to be djent-y either. Recon you should be more than fine. The bridge will go heavy and the neck, being a modded VHII made to match the bridge, will shred right away.

With my experience, with a jugg set in my Jackson, you will be just fine.

While they always seem to sound a bit Djenty to me, that's certainly not the common view as most seem to find them quite versatile so again, I think you should be fine.

The guitar and playing style make the tone as much as the pickups do. I think the 26.5 scale guitars tend to sound quite Djenty, at least in my experience.
The Juggs themselves are dark and modern sounding pickups with a hollow mid voicing and a lot of percussive impact in the low mids. The top end is smooth and rounded but it definitely has a fantastic bite to it at the same time. Very articulate, responsive, and musical pickups.
Great for leads, tight rhythm playing, and fantastic cleans too.
Aside from modern metal, the pickups can get quite 'proggy' a la Dream Theater and there are excellent heavy rock tones to be had as well. Just don't expect those 'searing' 80's metal tones unless you throw a boost out front!
