I think the Juggernaut was one of the only sets that weren't recorded with the same Les Paul Custom
I believe the clips were recorded with some djent-trendy superstrat

The hollow mids and low mid predominance leads me to conclude otherwise.  Swapping hardware has certainly been illuminating!

I own a USA Tremonti and played a similar guitar loaded with Juggernauts. Juggernauts are really cool pickups, but I do not think they sound like the Tremonti pickups. The Tremonti bridge is hotter with less bass. From the clips I have heard, the ceramic Nailbomb sounds the closest to the Tremonti bridge pickup (haven't played a C-Bomb though). Will be interested to hear what you think when you get them installed.

Yeah the tremonti is like a hotter and middier c-bomb, hence I mentioned the painkiller as an alternative
Aftermath could work, but lacks low end and compression in comparison

And now the NBs are here. Great choice and massive power – sounds (and looks) absolutely fantastic. :)
