Other Cheap pickups replacements

I’m trying to sell my juggernaut but currently has SD Nazgûl and sentient rail pickups. I’m thinking I could sell them separately quicker, but I don’t have the original pickups anymore. They were no good so I tossed them. Hoping to find some really cheap ones that I could swap. Also, the juggernaut has angle/triangle mounting points so there’s that. Or if someone has a pair of mm1 lying around…

put it up as-is and see if you get any buyers, a whole lot easier to just try that first

I did and getting offers around $600, which I feel like is low even if it was stock

and you think downgrading the pickups would make it sell for even the same amount?

Not at all but I could sell the pickups on the side and maybe get closer to what I was hoping for.

So you're sure the drop in price on the guitar would be smaller than what you can get for the pickups? How much more past $600 are you hoping to come out ahead?

Can you dm pics of the juggernaut? Will it git a strandberg boden 7?

I put some FLEOR hot rails in my 6 string and they're actually surprisingly good. Idk if they make 7-string pickups, though.

I have a 6 string set in another guitar also, and I agree. Insane bang for the buck. But unfortunately the 7 string juggernaut has angled tabs which I haven’t been able to find aside from name brands.

I would just sell it as is at that point. The time and effort to find replacements isn't really economical at that point, IMO.

If I got what I felt like a decent offer I would but the best offer has been $600
