1) VERY cool and fun song! 2) PHENOMENAL playing 3) Some seriously cool tones coming from a pickup that I didn't think would be so versatile. I'm thinking about picking some up now. Keep up the good work, dude! Quite inspiring!

- Hi Jason. Thank you so much man. Glad you liked it. I was really surprised too when I put them in my guitar. After hearing Misha talk about them I thought they were gonna be out of control wild but they really "just" are the best humbucker I've ever played. They kinda are like really expensive studio monitors, that lets you hear everything in the music but instead they just bring everything out of your guitar. Let me know if you end up getting a pair. I want to hear what you think.
  @johnhuldt6 жыл бұрын
- Well sir, I picked up a pair and went to a friend's house (who happens to be a luthier) and he installed them for me. I definitely see what you mean about these pickups, and my first impressions are quite positive. I have them in an alder body with a maple cap, maple neck, and ebony fretboard. They have a unique compression to them that I really like, and they sound super versatile too. I'm really liking the percussive top end and bite. I thought these pickups would have sounded much darker, but they almost remind me of a high def version of the Blues Saraceno Duncan pickup. Your video inspired me to pick these up, and practice more! Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

Dude I absolutely love your playing! I've watched your Polymath demo and am curious how you would compare those with the Rags? I have Juggernauts in my Aristides H/07, and Polymaths in a Boden 6. Both are incredible pickups, and I'm tempted to get Polymaths in an upcoming Aristides 7 string build, but the Ragnaroks have my attention as well.

Been wanting to know if the bridge could work in place of a DiMarzio Super Distortion. That pickup is what i've been wanting to put in an Edwards Les Paul that i've been wanting to modify and hot rod for a while, but these Ragnarok pickups i'll argue sound better than the Super Distortion to my ears because of how much more midrange presence these pickups have. The Edwards i have came with a JB and 59 initially. They aren't bad pickups by any means, but i want to expand my horizons in terms of what pickups will work best for my application.

No way. Wanted to throw them in my Aries! Compared to the lithium what difference do you hear? Definitely sounds a lot more ballsy. How easy was it to fit them?
@GrandpaWazi6 жыл бұрын
- Comparing the Rag's to Lithiums is like comparing Kiesel to Squire :D It's just a much better pickup. I do like the lithiums (and as stock pickups they are fantastic) but BKP is just on a different level.

How do they compare to the Kiesel lithium pickups?
@michaelsj79686 жыл бұрын
- The Lithiums are great but it's kind a one size fits all. BKP's do nothing but pickups so naturally they have more options and very specific expertise in that area. I find the Ragnarok's made an already fantastic guitar just that much more incredible. Really brings the life out of it.

Any routing required to fit them into your Aries?
@fiberplz6 жыл бұрын
- I actually had to have the pups modded to fit. The routing on the Aries is really shallow to I had to have the mounting brackets modified for them to fit. But didn't do anything to the guitar. Come to think of it, I'll actually tell the BKP guys and see if they can make a Kiesel ready option.
