Bare Knuckle Pickups, North Devon, UK - Hand Wound Guitar Pickups

Bare Knuckle Pickups 90, 91, & 92 Soapbars and Dogears

The original single coil; unmistakable appearance and sought after fat sound.

The three Bare Knuckle Pickups '90s are all constructed using the same methods; scatterwound by hand with plain enamel wire and assembled on a choice of hand machined nickel silver or brass baseplates with nickel silver pole screws.

All three are fully wax potted to prevent unwanted microphonic feedback, have original braided two conductor cable and come in both soapbar and dogear versions.

These fantastic sounding pickups truly fill the gap between humbuckers and standard single coils, being fat, gutsy and powerful whilst retaining superb clarity with outstanding tonal presence.

BKP-90 - Alnico II magnets with medium output. The magnets and special windings deliver just the right balance of power and vintage sound - rich and full with trademark smooth mid range.
DC: 7.5k*

BKP-91 - Alnico V magnets with slightly hotter than stock windings. The brighter magnet along with extra windings serve up hot and fat single coil grind - more weight in the mid range with excellent top end detail.
