Juggernaut bridge and Ragnarok neck?
« on: April 09, 2019, 11:57:46 AM »
Hey guys!

Since a year or two I've been letting go of "traditional brands" like PRS and Music Man and ordered custom guitars from Skervesen and Badstroke guitars. When ordering I get the choice of any BKP of choice. I have two guitars with Juggernauts and one with Ragnaroks.
My thought this time is like I wrote in the subject, a Juggernaut in the bridge position and a Ragnarok in the neck.

My only concern if the voicing and volume will differ too much?
I like them both, but the Ragnarok bridge is too hot for me and the juggernaut neck is a little too round.

What do you guys think?

The guitars where you have your rags and juggs installed, can you elaborate on their specs?

Absolutely!
I have two guitars with Juggernauts, a PRS P22, with mahogany body and neck, maple top and a ebony fretboard (could be a nicer piece of rosewood too). Then there's my Skervesen Raptor, sevenstringed mulstiscale, black limba body, poplar burl top, ovankol neck and birdseye maple fretboard.
They both sound great and share a lot of tonal similarities due to the Juggernauts.

The guitar with the Ragnaroks in it is a Badstroke Moloch. Euro ash body, maple top, flamed maple neck and pale moon ebony fretboard.
This one sounds very different from the other two, woods and pickups are both very different. I really like the attack and massiveness from the neck pickup, but the bridge is kinda overload for me. Too much and doesn't gel that great with the wood.

The new build will have a swamp ash body, buckeye burl top, mahogany neck and ziricote fretboard. Also a seven with multiscale.
No idea how this combination of woods will sound, but the Juggernauts have proven themselves worthy in the bridge for sure.
I'm just searching for great combos at the moment :)
