Anyone tried a JUGGERNAUT bridge in the neck position?

I’m thinking of doing this and hoping to hear from someone who has.. I posted earlier about trying to attain a certain sound from the neck pickup and I’m really wondering if I’m going to be able to get it from anything besides the juggernaut hybrid of the Alnico/ceramic... it’s a shame there isn’t a pickup specifically for the neck that’s a hybrid BKP

BKP does do custom pickups and maybe they'd be able to create a hybrid for you. 

I would think that brighter and more mid focused neck pickups would work for what you want.  Knowing how the Juggernaut Bridge pickup works, I think it would be a ball of low mids in the neck.  Like all center mids and low mids. 

For what you're talking about I can't help but think of a painkiller or rebel yell neck pickup. I wonder if there would be an option for a custom version of either of these with a ceramic and a5 magnet.

BKP responded to my inquiry about custom pickups by saying this:

Hi Uriel,

Thanks for the email but I'm afraid we don't really offer that type of service because we want to make sure 100% that any pickups we send out sound good and that we can offer a life-time warranty as well. For example, a new humbucker can take weeks and even years to design and test, before it is road-tested by artist friends and finally signed off.

We have over 20 neck models to choose from so let me know if you would like some help narrowing it down. 

Kind Regards,

Ben French

This is what I expected.  BKP has a lot of demand now that they are struggling to keep up with within the current workshop model.  It took at least three weeks to build my set of Black Hawks earlier this year, no custom features, just a standard alnico Black Hawk set. To expect them to develop custom winds is very unrealistic at this point in time.

I would think the Jugg bridge would be way too low-mid and bass focused to go in the neck position. I guess anything's worth a try, but my Jugg bridge is one of the fattest sounding pickups I've got so I think it'd be boomy as hell in the neck pos. just my thoughts....
