P Bass - '52 Stagger P

The '52 Stagger P adopts those same principals and partnered with a slightly lighter wind, produces an even brighter tone with tighter bass and more cut in the highs.

Nantucket

The Impulse single coils have been meticulously voiced to sport the same thunderous midrange, controlled lows and thick highs as the humbucker. Generous compression will make life easy for any player and the moderate output will play nice with digital, high gain and vintage setups alike.

Polymath

The bridge pickup has chunky pick attack, vocal midrange and a harmonic richness that glorifies the nuances in your playing, while the neck pickup is deep, woody and clear when clean, taking on a liquidy and articulate character under gain.

Unity

The Unity humbucker set is a partnership: a powerful custom ceramic bridge with a throaty, hot Alnico neck combining to produce a muscular high gain tone for rock and metal

Peacemaker

The ride is firm and controlled from the bridge with more than enough drive to really saturate under heavy gain, but never at the expense of mid-range definition or dynamic headroom. Neck tones sound fat and juicy in the highs with just the right amount of bite dialled in to punch through the mix for really solid lead tones.

The hoodie comes to you in a reuseable drawstring bag, that can double up as a cable bag, strap bag, lunch bag...whatever you want to do with it, it comes free!

The hoodie features the BKP boxer on the front, with our Bare Knuckle logo along one arm. The important thing for us was to create an item of clothing that was versatile but also stylish. We want you to be able to stay warm and look good!

Versatile, stylish, comfortable and hard-wearing, this hoodie is a must for any BKP player.

These are available in:

Small to fit chest 37"

Bridge - 11.5k ceramic, Middle - 10.4k ceramic, neck - 10.4k ceramic

Each pair of uniquely annealed, nickel plated steel blades are powered by a pair of custom size ceramic magnets ensuring an even string-to-string balance of magnetism for optimum driving of the coil windings. These pickups may be single coil by design but they play with all the output of a humbucker. Despite having massive amounts of power on tap, the emphasis is firmly on dynamic response for a precise and expressive tone.

'63 Veneer Board Singlecoil Aged Black Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired Strat pickguard in heavy aged black, fitted with a matching calibrated set of '63 Veneer Board Singlecoil pickups, fitted with our zinc plated steel baseplates in all 3 positions

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one comes loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and Duelund paper in oil tone capacitor and is handwired at our UK workshop

'63 Veneer Board Singlecoil pickups:

Bridge - 6.3k Alnico v, Middle - 5.8k Alnico v, neck - 5.8k Alnico v

Marking the change to a thinner rosewood 'veneer' board, the '63 Veneer Board set is based on some of the slightly hotter coils from '63 and '64, with the slightly smaller diameter Alnico V magnets. While veneer board Strats are usually brighter than slab board Strats, the hotter wind helps to add body to the tone, while the smaller hand-bevelled magnets focus the magnetism under the strings. With deeper bottom-end than the '59 Slab Board set and a more solid high-end, chords carry plenty of weight with a very full, piano-like ring to each note. As with both sets, the coils are scatter-wound with Heavy Formvar wire for wide frequency response and exceptional pick dynamics.

Irish Tour Singlecoil Cream / Vintage Red Tortoise Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in vintage red tortoise shell, fitted with a calibrated set of Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups in a cream finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and Duelund paper in oil tone capacitor.

Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups:

Bridge - 7.4k Alnico v, Middle - 6.3k Alnico v, neck - 6.3k Alnico v

The Irish Tour single coils take the 42 AWG plain enamel wind to the max with a clarity and depth that can only be achieved through hand-winding. Although big strings and strong hands result in a huge tone, the powerful output of the Irish Tour coils allows mere mortals an equally big and gutsy sound.

Low notes have a fuller, richer tone with more weight in the mids, while the high strings respond with a rounder chime and warmer harmonics. The hotter wound bridge can push a tube amp into natural overdrive while the calibrated mid and neck coils retain the hollow, woodiness of the Bare Knuckle Pickups Mother's Milk coils but with extra output.

'63 Veneer Board Singlecoil Aged Mint / Cream Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired Strat pickguard in aged light mint green with aged cream knobs, fitted with a calibrated set of '63 Veneer Board Singlecoil pickups in aged cream, with a zinc plated steel baseplate fitted in the bridge position

Mother's Milk Singlecoil Aged Parchment Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired 11 hole Strat pickguard in aged parchment, fitted with a matching calibrated set of Mother's Milk Singlecoil pickups with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and this particular guard also features one of the very last remaining examples of our BKP / Jensen paper in oil tone capacitor.

Mother's Milk Singlecoil pickups:

Vintage staggered magnet profile

Bridge - 6.5k Alnico v, Middle - 5.7k Alnico v, neck - 5.7k Alnico v

The Mother's Milk single coils are a combination of the larger diameter Alnico V magnetic rod of the late '50s and the introduction of 42AWG plain enamel wound coils with the CBS takeover at Fender. The hand-bevelled magnets and scatter-wound coils produce a tighter, deeper bottom end with clear, full highs that really sing when overdriven and never sound thin or brittle. Mid-range is hollow and woody, with a little more grit and edge compared to Heavy Formvar wound coils, for a crisp clean tone and more distinctive blues rock voice.

Collector's Edition Rebel Yell Humbucker Set - White Ray Gun Etch

Custom white Ray Gun Rebel Yell humbucker set.

Spec: 50mm bridge pole spacing, short leg baseplates, 4 conductor hook-up wiring.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 14.4 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 8.1 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Rebel Yell pickup was created with Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens, who wanted metal and impact but with a tone that cleans up well when backing off the volume.

“The Rebel Yell just growls with an even harmonic richness that I never hear in other pickups. It's so full of clear bottom and perfect pick attack. These pickups are in a whole other league - they're the real deal!”

Steve Stevens.

When Steve first came to Bare Knuckle he was adamant that the signature pickups he wanted were not just 'another metal pickup'. They had to be capable of a whole lot more. This kicked off a year of development and road testing while Steve was on a Billy Idol tour. Five of Steve’s Les Pauls were used as the vehicles for the design, and Steve also spent many hours in the studio testing the pickups. This extensive testing culminated in the Rebel Yell humbucker signature set.

Closer offset coils of 43 AWG plain enamel wire retain the mid range punch of the hotter Nailbomb but produce a tighter bass response with cleaner highs and more presence. This gives the pickup an organic voice with plenty of impact, perfect for any player wanting a progressive humbucker rich in harmonic overtones and wide pick dynamics. Steve uses his volume pot a lot when he plays, so it was important that the Rebel Yell cleans up well when backing off the volume, on top of being able to push a tube amp hard for a fully saturated overdrive.

Twin screw coils, Alnico V magnets and a pairing of 44AWG wound bridge and 42AWG wound neck all combine into an incredible range of depth and output.

Trilogy Suite Singlecoil Black / Black Pearloid Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in black pearloid, fitted with a calibrated set of Trilogy Suite Singlecoil pickups in a black finish with flat profile magnets and a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and Duelund paper in oil tone capacitor.

Trilogy Suite Singlecoil pickups:

Flat magnet profile

Bridge - 15.5k Alnico v, Middle - 12.5k Alnico v, neck - 12.5k Alnico v

Trilogy Suite single coils are designed for players who want anything but a vintage tone. They have all the character and extended frequency response of a true single coil, partnered with a hot wind of modern polysol wire and Alnico V rods. The result is a high output Strat set with real contemporary character. A slightly more compressed dynamic means single notes have incredible sustain, and when used with an overdriven amp they create a rich, saturated tone with big harmonic overtones. The highs remain full and clear no matter how much preamp gain is applied, while low notes are defined and focused. Back off the overdrive and the Trilogy Suite set clean up perfectly and judicious use of the volume pot accesses a huge range of modern clean tones.

Slow Hand Singlecoil Parchment / Cream Pearloid Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in cream pearloid, fitted with a calibrated set of Slow Hand Singlecoil pickups in a parchment finish with vintage staggered magnets and a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and Duelund paper in oil tone capacitor.

Slow Hand Singlecoil pickups:

Vintage staggered magnet profile

Bridge - 7.6k Alnico v, Middle - 6.5k Alnico v, neck - 6.5k Alnico v

The Slow Hand set of calibrated single coils use hand bevelled Alnico V magnets and modern polysol wire for stronger, darker mids and a fatter tone. Scatter-winding maintains clarity throughout all frequency ranges while the higher DC resistance extends the bass and produces a more controlled high-end. Taking the spirit of the Irish Tour coils one step further, the Slow Hand coils have a definite British blues rock voice capable of pushing an amp into that wonderful 'just breaking up' tone. High notes get fatter as amp volume is increased and more preamp gain produces a lovely natural sustain with excellent crunch tones. Extremely well suited to maple board Strats, the Slow Hand set also cleans up nicely when the volume is rolled back.

Irish Tour Singlecoil White / Dark Black Pearloid Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in Dark Black Pearloid, fitted with a calibrated set of Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups in a white finish with flat profile magnets and a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup.

Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups:

Bridge - 7.4k Alnico v, Middle - 6.3k Alnico v, neck - 6.3k Alnico v

Although big strings and strong hands result in a huge tone, the powerful output of the Irish Tour coils allows mere mortals an equally big and gutsy sound.

Special Edition Cobra T Singlecoil Set - Hot Pink

The Cobra T has been a very popular bridge pickup for players seeking a hotter, more modern voicing. In response to customer demand, we have made a few matching neck pickups, on a custom order basis, and have decided to expand this one step further, offering a limited number of custom Cobra T bridge and neck sets, incorporating custom powder coated blades, for a unique look.

Following in the footsteps of our hugely successful Cobra Strat single coils, the Cobra T is once again a true, high gain, single coil.

Utilising the same annealed nickel plated steel blades and custom-size ceramic magnets that made the Strat version so popular, the Cobra T features a larger, wider coil that we have voiced specifically for the Telecaster. As with all Bare Knuckle Tele pickups, the Cobra T is a true single coil and, whilst capable of producing a huge amount of power, it retains all of the extended frequency response you'd look for in a single coil. The bottom end is defined and focused, mids are rich and smooth and highs have plenty of solid bite; all whilst remaining dynamic and expressive to changes of the volume pot.

Unique and highly progressive, the Cobra T is designed as a direct replacement for any standard size Telecaster bridge coil.

Make your peace, embrace your tone. The Peacemaker

Chris Robertson signature humbucker set.

The voice of Black Stone Cherry on both lead guitar and vocals, Chris always delivers a searing performance, driving home the band’s modern twist on classic hard rock. From slamming riffs to quick-fire melodic lead playing, and with a touring schedule second to none, Chris demands a lot from his guitar tone.

"The thing I really love about these pickups, along with the clarity, is how round and full the upper register notes still stay. The higher strings, when you’re taking lead lines or even just chiming through chords, those notes stay right there and poke their chest out just as much as the lower strings. That’s one of the things I’ve always loved about Bare Knuckles, the attention to clarity on every note. I’m super excited to get these pickups out there."

The Peacemaker pickups are PAF voiced humbuckers spiced up to deliver vintage hot output from both bridge and neck powered by isotropic Alnico V magnets and our custom, handwound coils.

The ride is firm and controlled from the bridge with more than enough drive to really saturate under heavy gain, but never at the expense of mid-range definition or dynamic headroom. Neck tones sound fat and juicy in the highs with just the right amount of bite dialled in to punch through the mix for really solid lead tones.

Both bridge and neck are precisely calibrated to work as a matched pair, producing the perfect balance of output for scorching rock guitar tones.

As always, Chris has the final word:

"Yeah I like boomer bends…. blackmail me!"

The Impulse humbucker is a full, tight pickup that embraces down-tuned guitars but can also handle medium-gain applications for full, muscular, rock-mids.

"A finely tuned pickup for the lowest tuned player." Josh Smith

One of the founding members of 'Northlane', guitarist Josh Smith explains exactly what to expect from his signature pickups:

"The neutral and broad sounding midrange of this set seems to work well in just about anything and act to enhance the natural voice of the guitar without adding any offensive frequencies. While designed for my uses and excelling in baritone guitars, Les Paul guys, especially ones using big strings will love the clarity without anything too bright sticking out and the low-mids getting too cluttered. Progressive players will love the versatility and harmonic richness. Down-tuned metal players will love the fullness and tightness they get without any mud, especially if they're using an amp with a thick low-midrange. People playing in open or alternative tunings with a lot of range will like the consistency in tone, compression and feel between registers. Rock players will love the full and muscular mids of the humbucker and how it handles medium gain applications. Pedal junkies will love how they take to overdrive, fuzz, modulation and time based effects without getting lost.”

"The thing about the Impulse set that I like the most is that they're real players’ pickups and although designed for me, they don't sway towards any particular genre of music. Just about anyone can buy these pickups and get a lot out of them in most applications. Whether you're a lead player with red-hot chops, or the rhythm player holding down the meat and potatoes, Strat or Les Paul, or baritone 7 string like me, the Impulse set has something to offer to you."

Holydiver:

The Holydiver is a celebration of the original '80s hot-rodded humbuckers and offers high output with the mature, earthy voice of an Alnico V powered rock pickup.

It has a progressive, modern tone and wide dynamic range. Fat mids, warm and compact bass and harmonic rich highs work together to provide the perfect answer for progressive players looking for a versatile, powerful humbucker.

Trilogy Suite single coils are designed for players who want anything but a vintage tone. They have all the character and extended frequency response of a true single coil, partnered with a hot wind of modern polysol wire and Alnico V rods. The result is a high output Strat set with real contemporary character. A slightly more compressed dynamic means single notes have incredible sustain, and when used with an overdriven amp they create a rich, saturated tone with big harmonic overtones. The highs remain full and clear no matter how much preamp gain is applied, while low notes are defined and focused. Back off the overdrive and the Trilogy Suite set clean up perfectly and judicious use of the volume pot accesses a huge range of modern clean tones.

Special Edition 'Pig 90 Soapbar P90 Set In Red / Black Crackle

Special Edition 'Pig 90 calibrated bridge and neck set with custom handpainted red / black crackle finish soapbar covers and red powder coated hex bolts

The Warpig 90 is the hottest and fattest of all our soapbars, harnessing all the power of a high output humbucker with the frequency response of a true single coil.

The Warpig 90, or 'Pig 90 as it's known, was created in response to customer requests for a P90 version of the Warpig humbucker and has been made to order since 2003. Demand has been such that it simply had to join the ranks formally in the official Bare Knuckle range.

The colossal output of the 'Pig 90 is derived from a pair of custom size Alnico V bar magnets and scatter-wound coils of 45 AWG wire. The tone is truly deserving of the term 'fat', with deep, rich bottom-end, throaty mids and sweet highs. Single notes have incredible weight behind them and chords have serious intensity. High gain applications are easily handled with individual notes always sounding full and defined no matter how saturated the tone.

Although the main role of the 'Pig 90 is for handling overdrive, it never loses sight of its true P90 character. Producing really solid contemporary clean tones as well as powerful driven tones, it's equally at home with slide guitar as it is extreme metal.

Special Edition Ragnarok calibrated bridge (53mm) and neck set with custom handpainted red / black crackle finish and red powder coated hex bolts

The Ragnarok is a chunky, fat sounding pickup that’s also devastatingly tight and aggressive; a hot ceramic pickup with a smooth top end and incredible clarity.

“The Ragnarok is aggressive. In a way, it is a response to the very balanced nature of the Juggernaut. I wanted once again to work with both Tim and Nolly to create a pickup that I felt hadn't been made yet, this time aiming for the more angry and compressed side of the spectrum. The Ragnarok has a full tone and is in-your-face with any picking dynamic. The eq is balanced to the point where you won't lose the low mids in favour of the top end. It blends the best attributes of what contemporary passive and active pickups offer in a convenient package”.

Misha Mansoor.

“The Ragnarok fulfils a seemingly impossible remit - a chunky, fat sounding pickup that’s also devastatingly tight and aggressive; a hot ceramic pickup with a smooth top end and incredible clarity. Even the cleans and low gain tones have a fantastic voice. I didn’t think this could be done!”

Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood

“The prime role of the Ragnarok is to produce overdriven tones. And that’s what we’ve created. Working with Misha and Adam is always intense and demanding but above all else creative, and a lot of fun. Moving to the next stage in the evolution of Misha’s signature pickup range was always going to be a challenge…one we’ve risen to and exceeded”.

Special Edition Holydiver / Trilogy HSS Prewired Strat Pickguard In Lime / Black Crackle

Custom pre-wired  11 hole HSS Strat pickguard in Handpainted Lime / Black Crackle, fitted with a Holydiver humbucker in the bridge and Trilogy Suite singlecoils in the middle and neck, all in a custom Lime / black crackle finish.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and Duelund paper in oil tone capacitor and is wired to coilsplit the humbucker in switch position 2.

Holydiver:

The Holydiver is a celebration of the original '80s hot-rodded humbuckers and offers high output with the mature, earthy voice of an Alnico V powered rock pickup.

It has a progressive, modern tone and wide dynamic range. Fat mids, warm and compact bass and harmonic rich highs work together to provide the perfect answer for progressive players looking for a versatile, powerful humbucker.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 15.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

Trilogy Suite singlecoils:

Trilogy Suite single coils are designed for players who want anything but a vintage tone. They have all the character and extended frequency response of a true single coil, partnered with a hot wind of modern polysol wire and Alnico V rods. The result is a high output Strat set with real contemporary character. A slightly more compressed dynamic means single notes have incredible sustain, and when used with an overdriven amp they create a rich, saturated tone with big harmonic overtones. The highs remain full and clear no matter how much preamp gain is applied, while low notes are defined and focused. Back off the overdrive and the Trilogy Suite set clean up perfectly and judicious use of the volume pot accesses a huge range of modern clean tones.

Bare Knuckle / Jupiter Premium Tone Capacitors - SKU: JP-PTC

The latest evolution and most comprehensive range yet of our premium paper in oil tone capacitors.

Following exhaustive testing, we have developed a range of custom spec capacitors with Jupiter Condenser in the USA, which cover everything that we as players need from a great tone cap.

All models produce a clear, defined response, right through the full range of your tone control and feature aluminium foil construction with silver lead-outs, encased in a hermetically sealed capsule for dependable performance.

For maximum tonal variety, we are now offering 2 options for the dielectric fluid (oil) inside the capacitor, yielding 2 subtly different tonal flavours:

Vitamin Q - a synthetic oil which results in a slightly brighter overall tone, with a more notched, wah-like character when rolled back. This version is most like the previous versions of our caps, especially the older Jensen models

Mineral oil - a more rounded and warm character, with a smoother, even sound when rolled right back

Each type is available in three capacitance variants:

0.047µF, a deeper, darker response, best suited to singlecoils and pairing with a 280k tone pot,

0.022µF, for a great all-round response,

0.015µF for a slightly brighter response, great for retaining clarity on a neck tone control,

Silo: A signature pickup for a guitarist with a colossal signature tone and style.

The ‘Silo’ humbuckers define Rabea Massaad’s standing as a revered guitarist, music producer and performer, translating his immediately recognisable finger tone and phrasing.

"I need a pickup with the ability to create glassy, ambient leads and warm, clear chord tones. Equally I need it to sound crushingly heavy and aggressive.  

The Silo humbuckers give me everything I need and more. I couldn’t be happier." Rabea

Twin screw coils, Alnico V magnets and a pairing of 44AWG wound bridge and 42AWG wound neck all combine into an incredible range of depth and output.

Rabea is renowned for the clarity in his guitar tones and the precision in his playing, whether it be textural ambient soundscapes or saturated driven breakdowns.

Silo’s clean and split coil tones are pure, warm, and full bodied, responding extremely well to pick dynamics and changes on the volume pot. Driven tones retain excellent note definition through extended chord voicings and lower tunings with incredible projection and weight behind every note.

"The Polymath humbuckers are an antidote to scooped, harsh or boomy tone, they’re all about broad, characterful midrange, addictively juicy playing feel and trim, percussive low end.

They’ve got just the right amount of output to be capable of any style, whether classic cleans, wailing leads or brutal chugs and anything in between.

That said, the Polymaths have real personality too: the bridge pickup has chunky pick attack, vocal midrange and a harmonic richness that glorifies the nuances in your playing, while the neck pickup is deep, woody and clear when clean, taking on a liquidy and articulate character under gain.

I couldn’t be happier with the Polymaths, they are truly a “Goldilocks” pickup set that I know will sound amazing in any style of guitar, and in any tuning range." Adam "Nolly" Getgood

• DC Resistance: 12.7 kΩ

The Impulse humbucker is a full, tight pickup that embraces down-tuned guitars but can also handle medium-gain applications for full, muscular, rock-mids.

"A finely tuned pickup for the lowest tuned player." Josh Smith

One of the founding members of 'Northlane', guitarist Josh Smith explains exactly what to expect from his signature pickups:

"The neutral and broad sounding midrange of this set seems to work well in just about anything and act to enhance the natural voice of the guitar without adding any offensive frequencies. While designed for my uses and excelling in baritone guitars, Les Paul guys, especially ones using big strings will love the clarity without anything too bright sticking out and the low-mids getting too cluttered. Progressive players will love the versatility and harmonic richness. Down-tuned metal players will love the fullness and tightness they get without any mud, especially if they're using an amp with a thick low-midrange. People playing in open or alternative tunings with a lot of range will like the consistency in tone, compression and feel between registers. Rock players will love the full and muscular mids of the humbucker and how it handles medium gain applications. Pedal junkies will love how they take to overdrive, fuzz, modulation and time based effects without getting lost.”

Special Edition Cobra T Singlecoil Set - Lime / Hot Pink

The Cobra T has been a very popular bridge pickup for players seeking a hotter, more modern voicing. In response to customer demand, we have made a few matching neck pickups, on a custom order basis, and have decided to expand this one step further, offering a limited number of custom Cobra T bridge and neck sets, incorporating custom powder coated blades, for a unique look.

Following in the footsteps of our hugely successful Cobra Strat single coils, the Cobra T is once again a true, high gain, single coil.

Utilising the same annealed nickel plated steel blades and custom-size ceramic magnets that made the Strat version so popular, the Cobra T features a larger, wider coil that we have voiced specifically for the Telecaster. As with all Bare Knuckle Tele pickups, the Cobra T is a true single coil and, whilst capable of producing a huge amount of power, it retains all of the extended frequency response you'd look for in a single coil. The bottom end is defined and focused, mids are rich and smooth and highs have plenty of solid bite; all whilst remaining dynamic and expressive to changes of the volume pot.

Unique and highly progressive, the Cobra T is designed as a direct replacement for any standard size Telecaster bridge coil.

Special Edition Cobra Strat Singlecoil Set - Aquamarine / Hot Pink / Lime

The Cobra Coil is your answer to high gain, single coil tone without compromising dynamics or frequency response.

With the Cobra you get the radical look and construction of the Black Hawk humbucker but the Cobra coils are very much true single coil pickups. Each pair of uniquely annealed, nickel plated steel blades are powered by a pair of custom size ceramic magnets ensuring an even string-to-string balance of magnetism for optimum driving of the coil windings. These pickups may be single coil by design but they play with all the output of a humbucker. Despite having massive amounts of power on tap, the emphasis is firmly on dynamic response for a precise and expressive tone.

Collector's Edition Rebel Yell 50mm Humbucker Set - Lime / Pink Ray Gun Etch

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 14.4 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 8.1 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Rebel Yell pickup was created with Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens, who wanted metal and impact but with a tone that cleans up well when backing off the volume.

“The Rebel Yell just growls with an even harmonic richness that I never hear in other pickups. It's so full of clear bottom and perfect pick attack. These pickups are in a whole other league - they're the real deal!”

Steve Stevens.

When Steve first came to Bare Knuckle he was adamant that the signature pickups he wanted were not just 'another metal pickup'. They had to be capable of a whole lot more. This kicked off a year of development and road testing while Steve was on a Billy Idol tour. Five of Steve’s Les Pauls were used as the vehicles for the design, and Steve also spent many hours in the studio testing the pickups. This extensive testing culminated in the Rebel Yell humbucker signature set.

Closer offset coils of 43 AWG plain enamel wire retain the mid range punch of the hotter Nailbomb but produce a tighter bass response with cleaner highs and more presence. This gives the pickup an organic voice with plenty of impact, perfect for any player wanting a progressive humbucker rich in harmonic overtones and wide pick dynamics. Steve uses his volume pot a lot when he plays, so it was important that the Rebel Yell cleans up well when backing off the volume, on top of being able to push a tube amp hard for a fully saturated overdrive.

From light crunch through to colossal fuzz tones, low notes stay sharp and focused with massive bottom end while mids and highs are solid and punchy with the wide frequency response that only a single coil can give.

The Painkiller neck humbucker is powered by a custom size ceramic bar magnet for masses of power and liquid-like sustain as well as matching the bridge in output. Although not the major role of a high output ceramic humbucker, clean tones have a fat, modern voice with the combination of bridge and neck being particularly good.

Whether it's crushing rhythm tones, fluid solo tone or massive clean soundscapes that you want to create, the Juggernaut humbuckers deliver on every level. The Juggernaut is Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor’s signature humbucker, and the pickup has been designed with Misha’s progressive playing style in mind. Along with a massive sound, the pickup has an optional distinctive 'bulb' design cover etch, which adds a further dimension to an already unique pickup.  

"The Bare Knuckle Juggernaut encapsulates everything that I look for in a pickup in a ground breaking way. I can finally have the tightness and attack of a ceramic with the dynamics and musical nature of an Alnico. I can proudly call the Bare Knuckle 'Juggernaut' my signature pickup set." Misha Mansoor.

The Juggernaut humbucker is designed with symmetrically hand-wound twin screw coils and has a unique combination of massive Alnico V and ceramic VIII flankers for its engine in the bridge and a custom size Alnico V in the neck. Bass response is big and focused with lots of weight in the mids for the ultimate in definition through complex extended chord voicings.

Whether it's crushing rhythm tones, fluid solo tone or massive clean soundscapes that you want to create, the Juggernaut humbuckers deliver on every level. The Juggernaut is Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor’s signature humbucker, and the pickup has been designed with Misha’s progressive playing style in mind. Along with a massive sound, the pickup has an optional distinctive 'bulb' design cover etch, which adds a further dimension to an already unique pickup.  

"The Bare Knuckle Juggernaut encapsulates everything that I look for in a pickup in a ground breaking way. I can finally have the tightness and attack of a ceramic with the dynamics and musical nature of an Alnico. I can proudly call the Bare Knuckle 'Juggernaut' my signature pickup set." Misha Mansoor.

The Juggernaut humbucker is designed with symmetrically hand-wound twin screw coils and has a unique combination of massive Alnico V and ceramic VIII flankers for its engine in the bridge and a custom size Alnico V in the neck. Bass response is big and focused with lots of weight in the mids for the ultimate in definition through complex extended chord voicings. High end is rich and vocal with all of the articulation and dynamic control that Misha demands for his progressive playing style.

Special Edition Nantucket Soapbar P90 Set White Soundwave Etch

Special Edition Nantucket soapbar P90 calibrated bridge and neck set with custom Soundwave etch white covers and gold pole screws

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 7.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 7.1 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The sound of a hand-wound late '50s vintage P90 is unmistakable, as is the tone of those early LP Jr and LP Special playing blues and rock guitarists; the Nantucket 90 continues that legacy.

Arguably the ultimate pickup with the best tonal elements of humbuckers and single coils, the P90 single coil has a distinct and gutsy tone all of its own. Scatter-wound by hand with 42AWG plain enamel wire and using sand cast, vintage cut Alnico V magnets, the tone is raw and in-your-face. The wide, squat coil creates a fatter tone compared to a Strat or Tele coil, while the twin magnet design lends all the power of a humbucker. Low notes are solid and tight while the upper mids really grind, but they never sound harsh; just fat and chunky. High notes can really sing and with a slightly breaking-up tube amp, wonderful harmonic feedback is possible. A touch sensitive dynamic and the ability to clean up well as the volume is backed off, the Nantucket 90 really does lend itself to a huge range of playing styles.

BULK BAG 10X Bare Knuckle / Jupiter Premium Tone Capacitors

The latest evolution and most comprehensive range yet of our premium paper in oil tone capacitors.

Following exhaustive testing, we have developed a range of custom spec capacitors with Jupiter Condenser in the USA, which cover everything that we as players need from a great tone cap.

All models produce a clear, defined response, right through the full range of your tone control and feature aluminium foil construction with silver lead-outs, encased in a hermetically sealed capsule for dependable performance.

For maximum tonal variety, we are now offering 2 options for the dielectric fluid (oil) inside the capacitor, yielding 2 subtly different tonal flavours:

Vitamin Q - a synthetic oil which results in a slightly brighter overall tone, with a more notched, wah-like character when rolled back. This version is most like the previous versions of our caps, especially the older Jensen models

Mineral oil - a more rounded and warm character, with a smoother, even sound when rolled right back

Each type is available in three capacitance variants:

0.047µF, a deeper, darker response, best suited to singlecoils and pairing with a 280k tone pot,

0.022µF, for a great all-round response,

0.015µF for a slightly brighter response, great for retaining clarity on a neck tone control,

Special Edition Polymath 50mm Humbucker Set Black/Aquamarine Polymath Etch

"The Polymath humbuckers are an antidote to scooped, harsh or boomy tone, they’re all about broad, characterful midrange, addictively juicy playing feel and trim, percussive low end.

They’ve got just the right amount of output to be capable of any style, whether classic cleans, wailing leads or brutal chugs and anything in between.

That said, the Polymaths have real personality too: the bridge pickup has chunky pick attack, vocal midrange and a harmonic richness that glorifies the nuances in your playing, while the neck pickup is deep, woody and clear when clean, taking on a liquidy and articulate character under gain.

I couldn’t be happier with the Polymaths, they are truly a “Goldilocks” pickup set that I know will sound amazing in any style of guitar, and in any tuning range." Adam "Nolly" Getgood

'63 Veneer Board Singlecoil Cream / Vintage Red Tortoise Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in vintage red tortoise shell, fitted with a calibrated set of '63 Veneer Board Singlecoil pickups in a cream finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 6.3 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.8 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.8 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

Marking the change to a thinner rosewood 'veneer' board, the '63 Veneer Board set is based on some of the slightly hotter coils from '63 and '64, with the slightly smaller diameter Alnico V magnets. While veneer board Strats are usually brighter than slab board Strats, the hotter wind helps to add body to the tone, while the smaller hand-bevelled magnets focus the magnetism under the strings. With deeper bottom-end than the '59 Slab Board set and a more solid high-end, chords carry plenty of weight with a very full, piano-like ring to each note. As with both sets, the coils are scatter-wound with Heavy Formvar wire for wide frequency response and exceptional pick dynamics.

Irish Tour Singlecoil Aged Parchment Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in aged parchment, fitted with a calibrated set of Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups in an aged parchment finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and flat magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups:

Bridge - 7.4k Alnico v, Middle - 6.3k Alnico v, neck - 6.3k Alnico v

The Irish Tour single coils take the 42 AWG plain enamel wind to the max with a clarity and depth that can only be achieved through hand-winding. Although big strings and strong hands result in a huge tone, the powerful output of the Irish Tour coils allows mere mortals an equally big and gutsy sound.

Low notes have a fuller, richer tone with more weight in the mids, while the high strings respond with a rounder chime and warmer harmonics. The hotter wound bridge can push a tube amp into natural overdrive while the calibrated mid and neck coils retain the hollow, woodiness of the Bare Knuckle Pickups Mother's Milk coils but with extra output.

Triptych Singlecoil Aged Mint Green / Aged Cream Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in aged mint green, fitted with a calibrated set of Rabea Massaad Triptych Singlecoil pickups in an aged cream finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 6.8 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 3

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

Rabea Massaad signature Strat set.

“For me, the perfect Strat tone has been an ongoing journey for the last few years, and I’m happy to say that the journey has ended with the Triptych single coils.

I wanted to create a set of pickups that would satisfy my love for early to mid ’60’s Strat tones, referencing guys like SRV, John Mayer and Philip Sayce, but also provide enough depth, power and clarity for me to play heavier music and chunky riffs.

The Triptych’s do this with ease and I couldn’t be happier!” Rabea

A unique combination of Alnico III powered bridge and Alnico V middle and neck coils, hand wound with 42 AWG plain enamel wire, reproduce the phenomenal extension in the bottom end and rich upper mid and highs that make Rabea’s tone instantly recognisable.

Mother's Milk Singlecoil Aged Light Cream / Aged Mint Green Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in aged mint green, fitted with a calibrated set of Mother's Milk Singlecoil pickups in an aged light cream (almost parchment) finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 6.5 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.7 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.7 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Mother's Milk single coils are a combination of the larger diameter Alnico V magnetic rod of the late '50s and the introduction of 42AWG plain enamel wound coils with the CBS takeover at Fender. The hand-bevelled magnets and scatter-wound coils produce a tighter, deeper bottom end with clear, full highs that really sing when overdriven and never sound thin or brittle. Mid-range is hollow and woody, with a little more grit and edge compared to Heavy Formvar wound coils, for a crisp clean tone and more distinctive blues rock voice. As with all the Strat sets the bridge coil is wound slightly hotter for improved balance

Triptych Singlecoil Black Prewired Strat Pickguard With Etch

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in black, fitted with a calibrated set of Rabea Massaad Triptych Singlecoil pickups in a custom etched black finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge and neck pickups, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

Cobra Singlecoil Prewired Strat Pickguard White / Gold

Custom pre-wired Strat pickguard in white, fitted with a calibrated set of Cobra Singlecoil pickups in a custom white finish with gold plated blades

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one comes loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor and is handwired at our UK workshop

Cobra Singlecoil pickups:

Bridge - 11.5k ceramic, Middle - 10.4k ceramic, neck - 10.4k ceramic

With the Cobra you get the radical look and construction of the Black Hawk humbucker but the Cobra coils are very much true single coil pickups. Each pair of uniquely annealed, nickel plated steel blades are powered by a pair of custom size ceramic magnets ensuring an even string-to-string balance of magnetism for optimum driving of the coil windings. These pickups may be single coil by design but they play with all the output of a humbucker. Despite having massive amounts of power on tap, the emphasis is firmly on dynamic response for a precise and expressive tone.

Special Edition Black Hawk 6 String Set Black / Gold

Special Edition Black Hawk humbucker set in black with gold plated blades

Ceramic bridge magnet

Short leg baseplates

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 8.6 kΩ
• Magnet: Ceramic

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 8 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Black Hawk humbuckers have a  radical look for a radical pickup. You’ll find all the power and clarity of an active with all the tone and dynamics of a passive.

The Black Hawk humbuckers were designed in response to players' demands for a pickup that embodied the transparency and output of an active, with the character and wide dynamic control of a passive, all without the hassle of batteries. Each coil has a pair of specially annealed nickel plated steel blades which transfer the magnetism to the strings evenly across the width of the coil for perfect string to string balance.

Although on paper the DC resistance is moderate, the specially designed coils and blades, along with the custom calibrated magnets, are capable of huge amounts of power but never at the expense of dynamics. The combination of coil size and winding technique ensure the Black Hawk humbuckers remain extremely reactive to pick attack and changes to the volume pot.

The combination of coil size and winding technique ensure the Black Hawk humbuckers remain extremely reactive to pick attack and changes to the volume pot.

• DC Resistance: 7.7 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 3

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 7.1 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 3

The Half Note 90s are a pure and dynamic early '50s voiced P90 designed to recreate the tone of the jazz greats and complement the natural tone of the guitar.

The Half Note 90s are vintage output P90 single coils voiced primarily for jazz players who want a fat, single coil tone with a wide dynamic range that follows their playing technique. The mid-range is broad and solid, each note carrying plenty of weight with exceptional harmonic detail and clarity. Low notes maintain a piano-like chime while high notes are fat and ring out, almost with an acoustic quality. The Alnico III magnets have a relatively low string pull, allowing for very natural sustain which really lets the unadulterated tone of a semi or hollow body come through without excessive colouring.

Pat Pend '63 Veneer Board Singlecoil Aged Parchment Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in aged parchment, fitted with a calibrated set of '63 Veneer Board Singlecoil pickups in an aged parchment finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 6.3 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.8 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.8 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

Marking the change to a thinner rosewood 'veneer' board, the '63 Veneer Board set is based on some of the slightly hotter coils from '63 and '64, with the slightly smaller diameter Alnico V magnets. While veneer board Strats are usually brighter than slab board Strats, the hotter wind helps to add body to the tone, while the smaller hand-bevelled magnets focus the magnetism under the strings. With deeper bottom-end than the '59 Slab Board set and a more solid high-end, chords carry plenty of weight with a very full, piano-like ring to each note. As with both sets, the coils are scatter-wound with Heavy Formvar wire for wide frequency response and exceptional pick dynamics.

Irish Tour Singlecoil Tortoiseshell Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in tortoiseshell, fitted with a calibrated set of Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups in a cream finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 7.4 kΩ

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 6.3 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 6.3 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Irish Tour single coils take the 42 AWG plain enamel wind to the max with a clarity and depth that can only be achieved through hand-winding. Although big strings and strong hands result in a huge tone, the powerful output of the Irish Tour coils allows mere mortals an equally big and gutsy sound.

Low notes have a fuller, richer tone with more weight in the mids, while the high strings respond with a rounder chime and warmer harmonics. The hotter wound bridge can push a tube amp into natural overdrive while the calibrated mid and neck coils retain the hollow, woodiness of the Bare Knuckle Pickups Mother's Milk coils but with extra output.

Rabea Massaad Triptych Singlecoil Parchment Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in parchment, fitted with a calibrated set of Rabea Massaad signature Triptych Singlecoil pickups in a parchment finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge and neck pickups, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

A unique combination of Alnico III powered bridge and Alnico V middle and neck coils, hand wound with 42 AWG plain enamel wire, reproduce the phenomenal extension in the bottom end and rich upper mid and highs that make Rabea’s tone instantly recognisable.

From classic woody vintage vibes, super thick fuzz-driven high gain and onwards into new and uncharted territory that push the boundaries of single coil tone, Triptych coils encapsulate Rabea’s awe-inspiring approach to the Strat.

The Sultans Singlecoil Gold Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in gold, fitted with a calibrated set of The Sultans Singlecoil pickups in a gold finish with an RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 6.2 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 2

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.7 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 2

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.7 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 2

The Sultans have a smooth, unadulterated tone with excellent pick attack. A combination of hand-bevelled Alnico II magnets and scatter-wound coils of 42AWG plain enamel wire produce a softer, more gentle response in the bass and treble with extremely natural sustain and vintage output. Clean tones have a lovely hollow 'cluck' in the mid range which turns into a singing driven tone when gain is applied. As with the Apache, the bridge coil of The Sultans is wound a little hotter for more improved balance with the mid and neck coils, maintaining an open voice with good harmonic overtones and presence.

Special Edition Unity 53mm Humbucker Set Obscured Moon Black/Gold

Unity humbucker set with no-holes covers, custom painted and etched with a Black/Gold obscured moon finish.

In stock for immediate dispatch

Spec:  53mm Bridge pole spacing, short leg baseplates, 4 conductor hook-up wiring.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 15.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Ceramic

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 9.3 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Unity humbucker set is a partnership: a powerful custom ceramic bridge with a throaty, hot Alnico neck combining to produce a muscular high gain tone for rock and metal.

The bridge pickup produces a defined cut in the highs without compromising mid range weight or projection, and bass response is firm with plenty of depth. There’s masses of power on tap from the custom ceramic magnet, and the balanced coils produce excellent split coil tone too.

Neck tones, care of the Isotropic Alnico V, are fat and chewy but still retain enough dynamic headroom to be really expressive under heavy gain. Again, there’s a lot of output on offer and both split coil and parallel tones offer up some superb clean tones.

Special Edition Abraxas 53mm Humbucker Set Vivid Sunset

Abraxas humbucker set with no-holes covers, custom painted and etched with a multicolour sunset finish.

In stock for immediate dispatch

Spec:  53mm Bridge pole spacing, short leg baseplates, 4 conductor hook-up wiring.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 14 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 4

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 7.4 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 4

The Abraxas is a vintage-voiced humbucker with an superlative vocal tone, balanced mid-range projection and sweet harmonic overtones.

Players looking for more mid range crunch and the ability to drive an amp naturally will enjoy the classic voice of the Abraxas humbucker. The higher output also allows for excellent coil splits and it cleans up well with the volume pot.

Utilising the same sand-cast, Alnico IV magnet as The Mule, the Abraxas humbucker provides similar breadth and detail across the mid-range but packs considerably more power. The 43 AWG plain enamel scatter-wound coils retain the harmonic complexity of the vintage humbuckers, which adds more bottom-end depth and smoother control in the high-end, particularly in brighter guitars.

Cobra Singlecoil Prewired Strat Pickguard Black / Red

Custom pre-wired Strat pickguard in black, fitted with a calibrated set of Cobra Singlecoil pickups in a custom black finish with red blades

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one comes loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor and is handwired at our UK workshop

Cobra Singlecoil pickups:

Bridge - 11.5k ceramic, Middle - 10.4k ceramic, neck - 10.4k ceramic

With the Cobra you get the radical look and construction of the Black Hawk humbucker but the Cobra coils are very much true single coil pickups. Each pair of uniquely annealed, nickel plated steel blades are powered by a pair of custom size ceramic magnets ensuring an even string-to-string balance of magnetism for optimum driving of the coil windings. These pickups may be single coil by design but they play with all the output of a humbucker. Despite having massive amounts of power on tap, the emphasis is firmly on dynamic response for a precise and expressive tone.

Special Edition Mississippi Queen P90 Set Cream / Pink Swirl

Custom Mississippi Queen P90 Soapbar singlecoil set with custom cream / pink swirl covers and powdercoated pink bolts

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 7.7 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 6.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 4

Wound with 42AWG plain enamel wire, the bridge Mississippi Queen is powered by Alnico V magnets and the neck has Alnico IV magnets. While the bottom-end is solid and the highs really sing, it's the mid-range where it's really at; all the muscle of a humbucker but a much wider frequency response, allowing the mids to really breathe.

Into a clean amp the tone is fat and earthy, crank up the gain and the Mississippi Queen can absolutely scream. Add plenty of headroom for superb dynamic control and a calibrated neck for complete balance and you get a set of P90s that can cover just about anything.

Apache Singlecoil Black Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in black, fitted with a calibrated set of Apache Singlecoil pickups in a black finish with vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.6 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 3

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.6 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 3

Apache single coils are based on the rounder, fatter tones of the original '54 to '57 coils. They have a deep bottom end with a bell-like chime in the highs, and rich, wide, mid-range produce a crystal-clear clean tone without ever sounding harsh or thin. Overdriven tones sound full and crunchy with plenty of body for single note work. Scatter-wound by hand with vintage correct Heavy Formvar wire, the bridge coil is wound a little hotter to give better balance across the set. 

Mother's Milk Singlecoil Yellow / Black Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in black, fitted with a calibrated set of Mother's Milk Singlecoil pickups in yellow, with RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 6.5 kΩ

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.7 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.7 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Mother's Milk single coils are a combination of the larger diameter Alnico V magnetic rod of the late '50s and the introduction of 42AWG plain enamel wound coils with the CBS takeover at Fender. The hand-bevelled magnets and scatter-wound coils produce a tighter, deeper bottom end with clear, full highs that really sing when overdriven and never sound thin or brittle. Mid-range is hollow and woody, with a little more grit and edge compared to Heavy Formvar wound coils, for a crisp clean tone and more distinctive blues rock voice. As with all the Strat sets the bridge coil is wound slightly hotter for improved balance

Special Edition Nantucket Humbucker Sized P90 Set Black / White Swirl

Special Edition Nantucket humbucker sized P90 calibrated bridge and neck set with black TV style covers and black / white swirl infill

Specs: short leg baseplates, standard 50mm pole spacing, 2-conductor + screen hook-up wiring, stock polarity

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 7.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 7.1 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The sound of a hand-wound late '50s vintage P90 is unmistakable, as is the tone of those early LP Jr and LP Special playing blues and rock guitarists; the Nantucket 90 continues that legacy.

Arguably the ultimate pickup with the best tonal elements of humbuckers and single coils, the P90 single coil has a distinct and gutsy tone all of its own. Scatter-wound by hand with 42AWG plain enamel wire and using sand cast, vintage cut Alnico V magnets, the tone is raw and in-your-face. The wide, squat coil creates a fatter tone compared to a Strat or Tele coil, while the twin magnet design lends all the power of a humbucker. Low notes are solid and tight while the upper mids really grind, but they never sound harsh; just fat and chunky. High notes can really sing and with a slightly breaking-up tube amp, wonderful harmonic feedback is possible. A touch sensitive dynamic and the ability to clean up well as the volume is backed off, the Nantucket 90 really does lend itself to a huge range of playing styles.

Special Edition Cobra T Singlecoil Bridge - White / Black Paisley

Following in the footsteps of our hugely successful Cobra Strat single coils, the Cobra T is once again a true, high gain, single coil.

Utilising the same annealed nickel plated steel blades and custom-size ceramic magnets that made the Strat version so popular, the Cobra T features a larger, wider coil that we have voiced specifically for the Telecaster. As with all Bare Knuckle Tele pickups, the Cobra T is a true single coil and, whilst capable of producing a huge amount of power, it retains all of the extended frequency response you'd look for in a single coil. The bottom end is defined and focused, mids are rich and smooth and highs have plenty of solid bite; all whilst remaining dynamic and expressive to changes of the volume pot.

Unique and highly progressive, the Cobra T is designed as a direct replacement for any standard size Telecaster bridge coil.

• Position: Bridge

Special Edition Rebel Yell 53mm Humbucker Set - Warp Speed (fine)

Rebel Yell humbucker set, custom etched and painted with black and white "warp speed" finish

Spec: 53mm bridge pole spacing, short leg baseplates, 4 conductor hook-up wiring.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 14.4 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 8.1 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Rebel Yell pickup was created with Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens, who wanted metal and impact but with a tone that cleans up well when backing off the volume.

“The Rebel Yell just growls with an even harmonic richness that I never hear in other pickups. It's so full of clear bottom and perfect pick attack. These pickups are in a whole other league - they're the real deal!”

Steve Stevens.

When Steve first came to Bare Knuckle he was adamant that the signature pickups he wanted were not just 'another metal pickup'. They had to be capable of a whole lot more. This kicked off a year of development and road testing while Steve was on a Billy Idol tour. Five of Steve’s Les Pauls were used as the vehicles for the design, and Steve also spent many hours in the studio testing the pickups. This extensive testing culminated in the Rebel Yell humbucker signature set.

Closer offset coils of 43 AWG plain enamel wire retain the mid range punch of the hotter Nailbomb but produce a tighter bass response with cleaner highs and more presence. This gives the pickup an organic voice with plenty of impact, perfect for any player wanting a progressive humbucker rich in harmonic overtones and wide pick dynamics. Steve uses his volume pot a lot when he plays, so it was important that the Rebel Yell cleans up well when backing off the volume, on top of being able to push a tube amp hard for a fully saturated overdrive.

The Nailbomb humbucker is the perfect synergy of old-school and modern rock tones in a high output humbucker. From hot, fat blues rock through to aggressive thrash, the Nailbomb explodes with a strong and commanding voice. Contemporary players will take advantage of the full bore reaction of the pickup on full tilt; older school players will enjoy the range of classic tones and response using the volume pot to clean up.

The bridge ceramic magnet option adds more output, tightens the bass response and smoothes the mid range slightly with a brighter cut in the high end, whilst retaining the core voice of the humbucker.

The Nailbomb neck humbucker has a woody and bright character when used clean; add overdrive and the tone tightens up for a focused and precise attack.

Utilising the same annealed nickel plated steel blades and custom-size ceramic magnets that made the Strat version so popular, the Cobra T features a larger, wider coil that we have voiced specifically for the Telecaster. As with all Bare Knuckle Tele pickups, the Cobra T is a true single coil and, whilst capable of producing a huge amount of power, it retains all of the extended frequency response you'd look for in a single coil. The bottom end is defined and focused, mids are rich and smooth and highs have plenty of solid bite; all whilst remaining dynamic and expressive to changes of the volume pot.

Unique and highly progressive, the Cobra T is designed as a direct replacement for any standard size Telecaster bridge coil.

The Nailbomb humbucker is the perfect synergy of old-school and modern rock tones in a high output humbucker. From hot, fat blues rock through to aggressive thrash, the Nailbomb explodes with a strong and commanding voice. Contemporary players will take advantage of the full bore reaction of the pickup on full tilt; older school players will enjoy the range of classic tones and response using the volume pot to clean up.

The bridge ceramic magnet option adds more output, tightens the bass response and smoothes the mid range slightly with a brighter cut in the high end, whilst retaining the core voice of the humbucker.

The Nailbomb neck humbucker has a woody and bright character when used clean; add overdrive and the tone tightens up for a focused and precise attack.

From solid, contemporary clean tones, through to aggressive high-gain saturation, the Holydiver is ideal for technically and tonally demanding players.

The wide dynamics and mids of the Holydiver are excellent for adding depth and body to lighter weight, bolt-on neck guitars and extremely well suited to high-gain applications that benefit from a sweeter treble response.

Silo: A signature pickup for a guitarist with a colossal signature tone and style.

The ‘Silo’ humbuckers define Rabea Massaad’s standing as a revered guitarist, music producer and performer, translating his immediately recognisable finger tone and phrasing.

"I need a pickup with the ability to create glassy, ambient leads and warm, clear chord tones. Equally I need it to sound crushingly heavy and aggressive.  

The Silo humbuckers give me everything I need and more. I couldn’t be happier." Rabea

Twin screw coils, Alnico V magnets and a pairing of 44AWG wound bridge and 42AWG wound neck all combine into an incredible range of depth and output.

Rabea is renowned for the clarity in his guitar tones and the precision in his playing, whether it be textural ambient soundscapes or saturated driven breakdowns.

Silo’s clean and split coil tones are pure, warm, and full bodied, responding extremely well to pick dynamics and changes on the volume pot. Driven tones retain excellent note definition through extended chord voicings and lower tunings with incredible projection and weight behind every note.

Special Edition Supermassive Soapbar P90 Set Red/White Paisley Etch

Special Edition Supermassive soapbar P90 calibrated bridge and neck set with custom paisley etched red / white covers and white bolts

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 10.6 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 9.5 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Supermassive 90 is designed for the modern rock guitarist wanting the fat, raw tone of a P90 with a strong voice and more output capable of really driving an amp and handling complex FX combinations.

Powered by custom size Alnico V magnets and with hand-wound coils of 43AWG wire, the Supermassive 90 can handle huge amounts of preamp gain without ever sounding thin or losing definition. From light crunch through to colossal fuzz tones, low notes stay sharp and focused with massive bottom end while mids and highs are solid and punchy with the wide frequency response that only a single coil can give.

Even though the Supermassive 90 is designed for progressive applications, the voicing will also be perfect for traditional blues and rock players looking for scorching, unadulterated soapbar tone.

Special Edition Stockholm Soapbar P90 Set Purple/Yellow Paisley Etch

Special edition Stockholm soapbar P90 set with custom purple / yellow paisley etched covers and gold screws.

• Position: Bridge

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 12.5 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Stockholm P90 takes the attitude of its sibling, the Supermassive 90, up a notch in both power and aggression. Driven by custom size Alnico V bar magnets, output is strong and more than capable of driving long chains of FX and pushing an amp hard.

As a true P90, the tone is naturally fat with all the extended frequency response of a single coil, the front of each note never losing its edge. The bottom-end is massive with exceptional definition. Single notes stay razor-sharp and sound full with plenty of body, even under heavy gain or fuzz. Clean tones are round with a deep chime and totally modern character. With the higher output of the Stockholm, dynamics are more controlled, providing excellent sustain.

Special Edition Nantucket HSP90 Set Brown/Orange Paisley Etch

Special Edition Nantucket humbucker sized P90 calibrated bridge and neck set with brown TV style covers and orange paisley etched infill

Specs: short leg baseplates, standard 50mm pole spacing, braided hook-up wiring, stock polarity

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 7.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 7.1 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The sound of a hand-wound late '50s vintage P90 is unmistakable, as is the tone of those early LP Jr and LP Special playing blues and rock guitarists; the Nantucket 90 continues that legacy.

Arguably the ultimate pickup with the best tonal elements of humbuckers and single coils, the P90 single coil has a distinct and gutsy tone all of its own. Scatter-wound by hand with 42AWG plain enamel wire and using sand cast, vintage cut Alnico V magnets, the tone is raw and in-your-face. The wide, squat coil creates a fatter tone compared to a Strat or Tele coil, while the twin magnet design lends all the power of a humbucker. Low notes are solid and tight while the upper mids really grind, but they never sound harsh; just fat and chunky. High notes can really sing and with a slightly breaking-up tube amp, wonderful harmonic feedback is possible. A touch sensitive dynamic and the ability to clean up well as the volume is backed off, the Nantucket 90 really does lend itself to a huge range of playing styles.

Cobra Singlecoil Prewired Strat Pickguard Black / Red

Cobra Singlecoil pickups:

Bridge - 11.5k ceramic, Middle - 10.4k ceramic, neck - 10.4k ceramic

With the Cobra you get the radical look and construction of the Black Hawk humbucker but the Cobra coils are very much true single coil pickups. Each pair of uniquely annealed, nickel plated steel blades are powered by a pair of custom size ceramic magnets ensuring an even string-to-string balance of magnetism for optimum driving of the coil windings. These pickups may be single coil by design but they play with all the output of a humbucker. Despite having massive amounts of power on tap, the emphasis is firmly on dynamic response for a precise and expressive tone.

The Warpig 90 is the hottest and fattest of all our soapbars, harnessing all the power of a high output humbucker with the frequency response of a true single coil.

The Warpig 90, or 'Pig 90 as it's known, was created in response to customer requests for a P90 version of the Warpig humbucker and has been made to order since 2003. Demand has been such that it simply had to join the ranks formally in the official Bare Knuckle range.

The colossal output of the 'Pig 90 is derived from a pair of custom size Alnico V bar magnets and scatter-wound coils of 45 AWG wire. The tone is truly deserving of the term 'fat', with deep, rich bottom-end, throaty mids and sweet highs. Single notes have incredible weight behind them and chords have serious intensity. High gain applications are easily handled with individual notes always sounding full and defined no matter how saturated the tone.

Although the main role of the 'Pig 90 is for handling overdrive, it never loses sight of its true P90 character. Producing really solid contemporary clean tones as well as powerful driven tones, it's equally at home with slide guitar as it is extreme metal.

Mother's Milk Singlecoil pickups:

Vintage staggered magnet profile

Bridge - 6.5k Alnico v, Middle - 5.7k Alnico v, neck - 5.7k Alnico v

The Mother's Milk single coils are a combination of the larger diameter Alnico V magnetic rod of the late '50s and the introduction of 42AWG plain enamel wound coils with the CBS takeover at Fender. The hand-bevelled magnets and scatter-wound coils produce a tighter, deeper bottom end with clear, full highs that really sing when overdriven and never sound thin or brittle. Mid-range is hollow and woody, with a little more grit and edge compared to Heavy Formvar wound coils, for a crisp clean tone and more distinctive blues rock voice.

The Black Hawk humbuckers have a  radical look for a radical pickup. You’ll find all the power and clarity of an active with all the tone and dynamics of a passive.

The Black Hawk humbuckers were designed in response to players' demands for a pickup that embodied the transparency and output of an active, with the character and wide dynamic control of a passive, all without the hassle of batteries. Each coil has a pair of specially annealed nickel plated steel blades which transfer the magnetism to the strings evenly across the width of the coil for perfect string to string balance.

Although on paper the DC resistance is moderate, the specially designed coils and blades, along with the custom calibrated magnets, are capable of huge amounts of power but never at the expense of dynamics. The combination of coil size and winding technique ensure the Black Hawk humbuckers remain extremely reactive to pick attack and changes to the volume pot.

The Warpig 90 is the hottest and fattest of all our soapbars, harnessing all the power of a high output humbucker with the frequency response of a true single coil.

The Warpig 90, or 'Pig 90 as it's known, was created in response to customer requests for a P90 version of the Warpig humbucker and has been made to order since 2003. Demand has been such that it simply had to join the ranks formally in the official Bare Knuckle range.

The colossal output of the 'Pig 90 is derived from a pair of custom size Alnico V bar magnets and scatter-wound coils of 45 AWG wire. The tone is truly deserving of the term 'fat', with deep, rich bottom-end, throaty mids and sweet highs. Single notes have incredible weight behind them and chords have serious intensity. High gain applications are easily handled with individual notes always sounding full and defined no matter how saturated the tone.

Although the main role of the 'Pig 90 is for handling overdrive, it never loses sight of its true P90 character. Producing really solid contemporary clean tones as well as powerful driven tones, it's equally at home with slide guitar as it is extreme metal.

Pat Pend '63 Veneer Board Singlecoil Aged Cream/Parchment Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in aged cream, fitted with a calibrated set of '63 Veneer Board Singlecoil pickups in an aged parchment finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 6.3 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Middle
• DC Resistance: 5.8 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 5.8 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

Marking the change to a thinner rosewood 'veneer' board, the '63 Veneer Board set is based on some of the slightly hotter coils from '63 and '64, with the slightly smaller diameter Alnico V magnets. While veneer board Strats are usually brighter than slab board Strats, the hotter wind helps to add body to the tone, while the smaller hand-bevelled magnets focus the magnetism under the strings. With deeper bottom-end than the '59 Slab Board set and a more solid high-end, chords carry plenty of weight with a very full, piano-like ring to each note. As with both sets, the coils are scatter-wound with Heavy Formvar wire for wide frequency response and exceptional pick dynamics.

Mother's Milk Singlecoil Aged Parchment Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired 11 hole Strat pickguard in aged parchment, fitted with a calibrated set of Mother's Milk Singlecoil pickups with aged parchment covers.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and custom spec BKP / Jupiter paper in oil tone capacitor.

Mother's Milk Singlecoil pickups:

Vintage staggered magnet profile

Bridge - 6.5k Alnico v, Middle - 5.7k Alnico v, neck - 5.7k Alnico v

The Mother's Milk single coils are a combination of the larger diameter Alnico V magnetic rod of the late '50s and the introduction of 42AWG plain enamel wound coils with the CBS takeover at Fender. The hand-bevelled magnets and scatter-wound coils produce a tighter, deeper bottom end with clear, full highs that really sing when overdriven and never sound thin or brittle. Mid-range is hollow and woody, with a little more grit and edge compared to Heavy Formvar wound coils, for a crisp clean tone and more distinctive blues rock voice.

Trilogy Singlecoil Black Pearloid Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in black pearloid, fitted with a calibrated set of Trilogy Singlecoil pickups in a black finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

Bridge - 15.5k Alnico v, Middle - 12.5k Alnico v, neck - 12.5k Alnico v

Trilogy Suite single coils are designed for players who want anything but a vintage tone. They have all the character and extended frequency response of a true single coil, partnered with a hot wind of modern polysol wire and Alnico V rods. The result is a high output Strat set with real contemporary character. A slightly more compressed dynamic means single notes have incredible sustain, and when used with an overdriven amp they create a rich, saturated tone with big harmonic overtones. The highs remain full and clear no matter how much preamp gain is applied, while low notes are defined and focused. Back off the overdrive and the Trilogy Suite set clean up perfectly and judicious use of the volume pot accesses a huge range of modern clean tones.

Triptych Singlecoil Aged Mint Green/Cream/Parchment Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in aged mint green with aged cream parts kit, fitted with a calibrated set of Rabea Massaad Triptych Singlecoil pickups in an aged cream finish with a zinc plated steel baseplate on the bridge pickup, RWRP middle coil and vintage stagger magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

Rabea Massaad signature Strat set.

“For me, the perfect Strat tone has been an ongoing journey for the last few years, and I’m happy to say that the journey has ended with the Triptych single coils.

I wanted to create a set of pickups that would satisfy my love for early to mid ’60’s Strat tones, referencing guys like SRV, John Mayer and Philip Sayce, but also provide enough depth, power and clarity for me to play heavier music and chunky riffs.

The Triptych’s do this with ease and I couldn’t be happier!” Rabea

A unique combination of Alnico III powered bridge and Alnico V middle and neck coils, hand wound with 42 AWG plain enamel wire, reproduce the phenomenal extension in the bottom end and rich upper mid and highs that make Rabea’s tone instantly recognisable.

Special Edition VHII 53mm Humbucker Set Black / Multicolour Contour Lines Etch

Custom 53mm VHII humbucker set with black open bobbins, black pole screws and multicolour etched and handpainted contour lines design

Crystal clear highs, defined bottom-end and the versatile output of a vintage hot humbucker lay down the ultimate in clean overdrive and even harmonic response with the VHII humbucker.

Totally unique approaches to the asymmetrical coils of the VHII humbucker allow it to retain phenomenal clarity whilst maximising the output of 42 AWG plain enamel wire. Voiced to capture the original raw energy and brown sound of the late '70s, the vintage cut Alnico V magnet allows for a really open and touch sensitive feel. Harmonic overtones are strong and defined with excellent string separation, which produces a huge sound with superb pick attack even when used with extreme amounts of preamp gain. The design of the coils allows for great split and parallel options, working extremely well with rotary tone selectors.

Special Edition Polymath 53mm Humbucker Set Black/Blue Polymath Etch

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 14.2 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

"The Polymath humbuckers are an antidote to scooped, harsh or boomy tone, they’re all about broad, characterful midrange, addictively juicy playing feel and trim, percussive low end.

They’ve got just the right amount of output to be capable of any style, whether classic cleans, wailing leads or brutal chugs and anything in between.

That said, the Polymaths have real personality too: the bridge pickup has chunky pick attack, vocal midrange and a harmonic richness that glorifies the nuances in your playing, while the neck pickup is deep, woody and clear when clean, taking on a liquidy and articulate character under gain.

I couldn’t be happier with the Polymaths, they are truly a “Goldilocks” pickup set that I know will sound amazing in any style of guitar, and in any tuning range." Adam "Nolly" Getgood

Special Edition Cobra T Singlecoil Bridge - Black / White Swirl

Following in the footsteps of our hugely successful Cobra Strat single coils, the Cobra T is once again a true, high gain, single coil.

Utilising the same annealed nickel plated steel blades and custom-size ceramic magnets that made the Strat version so popular, the Cobra T features a larger, wider coil that we have voiced specifically for the Telecaster. As with all Bare Knuckle Tele pickups, the Cobra T is a true single coil and, whilst capable of producing a huge amount of power, it retains all of the extended frequency response you'd look for in a single coil. The bottom end is defined and focused, mids are rich and smooth and highs have plenty of solid bite; all whilst remaining dynamic and expressive to changes of the volume pot.

Unique and highly progressive, the Cobra T is designed as a direct replacement for any standard size Telecaster bridge coil.

Special Edition Ragnarok 53mm humbucker Set In Custom Aged Pink

Special Edition Misha Mansoor Ragnarok 6 string humbucker set, with 53mm bridge spacing, finished in a custom aged pink powder-coat cover and aged nickel poles screws, with 4-conductor wiring.

The Ragnarok is a chunky, fat sounding pickup that’s also devastatingly tight and aggressive; a hot ceramic pickup with a smooth top end and incredible clarity.

“The Ragnarok is aggressive. In a way, it is a response to the very balanced nature of the Juggernaut. I wanted once again to work with both Tim and Nolly to create a pickup that I felt hadn't been made yet, this time aiming for the more angry and compressed side of the spectrum. The Ragnarok has a full tone and is in-your-face with any picking dynamic. The eq is balanced to the point where you won't lose the low mids in favour of the top end. It blends the best attributes of what contemporary passive and active pickups offer in a convenient package”.

Misha Mansoor.

“The Ragnarok fulfils a seemingly impossible remit - a chunky, fat sounding pickup that’s also devastatingly tight and aggressive; a hot ceramic pickup with a smooth top end and incredible clarity. Even the cleans and low gain tones have a fantastic voice. I didn’t think this could be done!”

Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood

“The prime role of the Ragnarok is to produce overdriven tones. And that’s what we’ve created. Working with Misha and Adam is always intense and demanding but above all else creative, and a lot of fun. Moving to the next stage in the evolution of Misha’s signature pickup range was always going to be a challenge…one we’ve risen to and exceeded”.

Tim Mills

The end of all things…or just the beginning. The next step in progressive rock and metal tone.

Special Edition Cobra Strat Singlecoil Set - Black / White Zebra Pattern

Cobra Strat 6 string singlecoil set in custom black / white zebra pattern finish

Middle coil is RW/RP to provide a hum-cancelling effect in positions 2 and 4 of a standard 5-way Strat pickup selector.

The Cobra Coil is your answer to high gain, single coil tone without compromising dynamics or frequency response.

With the Cobra you get the radical look and construction of the Black Hawk humbucker but the Cobra coils are very much true single coil pickups. Each pair of uniquely annealed, nickel plated steel blades are powered by a pair of custom size ceramic magnets ensuring an even string-to-string balance of magnetism for optimum driving of the coil windings. These pickups may be single coil by design but they play with all the output of a humbucker. Despite having massive amounts of power on tap, the emphasis is firmly on dynamic response for a precise and expressive tone.

Special Edition Rebel Yell 53mm Humbucker Set - Black / Pink Ray Gun Etch

Custom Black / Pink Ray Gun Rebel Yell humbucker set.

Spec: 53mm bridge pole spacing, short leg baseplates, 4 conductor hook-up wiring.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 14.4 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 8.1 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Rebel Yell pickup was created with Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens, who wanted metal and impact but with a tone that cleans up well when backing off the volume.

“The Rebel Yell just growls with an even harmonic richness that I never hear in other pickups. It's so full of clear bottom and perfect pick attack. These pickups are in a whole other league - they're the real deal!”

Steve Stevens.

When Steve first came to Bare Knuckle he was adamant that the signature pickups he wanted were not just 'another metal pickup'. They had to be capable of a whole lot more. This kicked off a year of development and road testing while Steve was on a Billy Idol tour. Five of Steve’s Les Pauls were used as the vehicles for the design, and Steve also spent many hours in the studio testing the pickups. This extensive testing culminated in the Rebel Yell humbucker signature set.

Closer offset coils of 43 AWG plain enamel wire retain the mid range punch of the hotter Nailbomb but produce a tighter bass response with cleaner highs and more presence. This gives the pickup an organic voice with plenty of impact, perfect for any player wanting a progressive humbucker rich in harmonic overtones and wide pick dynamics. Steve uses his volume pot a lot when he plays, so it was important that the Rebel Yell cleans up well when backing off the volume, on top of being able to push a tube amp hard for a fully saturated overdrive.

Whether it's crushing rhythm tones, fluid solo tone or massive clean soundscapes that you want to create, the Juggernaut humbuckers deliver on every level. The Juggernaut is Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor’s signature humbucker, and the pickup has been designed with Misha’s progressive playing style in mind. Along with a massive sound, the pickup has an optional distinctive 'bulb' design cover etch, which adds a further dimension to an already unique pickup.  

"The Bare Knuckle Juggernaut encapsulates everything that I look for in a pickup in a ground breaking way. I can finally have the tightness and attack of a ceramic with the dynamics and musical nature of an Alnico. I can proudly call the Bare Knuckle 'Juggernaut' my signature pickup set." Misha Mansoor.

The Juggernaut humbucker is designed with symmetrically hand-wound twin screw coils and has a unique combination of massive Alnico V and ceramic VIII flankers for its engine in the bridge and a custom size Alnico V in the neck. Bass response is big and focused with lots of weight in the mids for the ultimate in definition through complex extended chord voicings. High end is rich and vocal with all of the articulation and dynamic control that Misha demands for his progressive playing style.

"The pickups are full and musical at all times even though they are super tight and can turn very aggressive if you pick hard." Misha Mansoor.

Silo: A signature pickup for a guitarist with a colossal signature tone and style.

The ‘Silo’ humbuckers define Rabea Massaad’s standing as a revered guitarist, music producer and performer, translating his immediately recognisable finger tone and phrasing.

"I need a pickup with the ability to create glassy, ambient leads and warm, clear chord tones. Equally I need it to sound crushingly heavy and aggressive.  

The Silo humbuckers give me everything I need and more. I couldn’t be happier." Rabea

Twin screw coils, Alnico V magnets and a pairing of 44AWG wound bridge and 42AWG wound neck all combine into an incredible range of depth and output.

Rabea is renowned for the clarity in his guitar tones and the precision in his playing, whether it be textural ambient soundscapes or saturated driven breakdowns.

Silo’s clean and split coil tones are pure, warm, and full bodied, responding extremely well to pick dynamics and changes on the volume pot. Driven tones retain excellent note definition through extended chord voicings and lower tunings with incredible projection and weight behind every note.

Irish Tour Singlecoil Paisley / Gold / White Prewired Strat Pickguard

Custom pre-wired  11 hole Strat pickguard in white, fitted with a calibrated set of Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups in a gold and white Paisley finish with an RWRP middle coil and flat magnet profile.

As with all of our pre-wired guards, this one and is handwired at our UK workshop, loaded with our custom spec BKP / CTS volume and tone pots and paper in oil tone capacitor.

Irish Tour Singlecoil pickups:

Bridge - 7.4k Alnico v, Middle - 6.3k Alnico v, neck - 6.3k Alnico v

The Irish Tour single coils take the 42 AWG plain enamel wind to the max with a clarity and depth that can only be achieved through hand-winding. Although big strings and strong hands result in a huge tone, the powerful output of the Irish Tour coils allows mere mortals an equally big and gutsy sound.

Low notes have a fuller, richer tone with more weight in the mids, while the high strings respond with a rounder chime and warmer harmonics. The hotter wound bridge can push a tube amp into natural overdrive while the calibrated mid and neck coils retain the hollow, woodiness of the Bare Knuckle Pickups Mother's Milk coils but with extra output.

Crystal clear highs, defined bottom-end and the versatile output of a vintage hot humbucker lay down the ultimate in clean overdrive and even harmonic response with the VHII humbucker.

Totally unique approaches to the asymmetrical coils of the VHII humbucker allow it to retain phenomenal clarity whilst maximising the output of 42 AWG plain enamel wire. Voiced to capture the original raw energy and brown sound of the late '70s, the vintage cut Alnico V magnet allows for a really open and touch sensitive feel. Harmonic overtones are strong and defined with excellent string separation, which produces a huge sound with superb pick attack even when used with extreme amounts of preamp gain. The design of the coils allows for great split and parallel options, working extremely well with rotary tone selectors.

Special Edition Stockholm Soapbar P90 Set Red/White Paisley Etch

Special edition Stockholm soapbar P90 set with custom red / white paisley etched covers and gold screws.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 15.3 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 12.5 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

The Stockholm P90 takes the attitude of its sibling, the Supermassive 90, up a notch in both power and aggression. Driven by custom size Alnico V bar magnets, output is strong and more than capable of driving long chains of FX and pushing an amp hard.

As a true P90, the tone is naturally fat with all the extended frequency response of a single coil, the front of each note never losing its edge. The bottom-end is massive with exceptional definition. Single notes stay razor-sharp and sound full with plenty of body, even under heavy gain or fuzz. Clean tones are round with a deep chime and totally modern character. With the higher output of the Stockholm, dynamics are more controlled, providing excellent sustain.

Special Edition Cobra T Singlecoil Set - Lime / Hot Pink Blades

The Cobra T has been a very popular bridge pickup for players seeking a hotter, more modern voicing. In response to customer demand, we have made a few matching neck pickups, on a custom order basis, and have decided to expand this one step further, offering a limited number of custom Cobra T bridge and neck sets, incorporating custom powder coated blades, for a unique look.

Following in the footsteps of our hugely successful Cobra Strat single coils, the Cobra T is once again a true, high gain, single coil.

Utilising the same annealed nickel plated steel blades and custom-size ceramic magnets that made the Strat version so popular, the Cobra T features a larger, wider coil that we have voiced specifically for the Telecaster. As with all Bare Knuckle Tele pickups, the Cobra T is a true single coil and, whilst capable of producing a huge amount of power, it retains all of the extended frequency response you'd look for in a single coil. The bottom end is defined and focused, mids are rich and smooth and highs have plenty of solid bite; all whilst remaining dynamic and expressive to changes of the volume pot.

Unique and highly progressive, the Cobra T is designed as a direct replacement for any standard size Telecaster bridge coil.

Special Edition Halcyon 7 String Humbucker Set - Black / Lime

Custom Mike Stringer signature Halcyon 7 string humbucker set in open coil spec with black bobbins and lime blades

In stock for immediate dispatch

Spec:  short leg baseplates, 4 conductor hook-up wiring.

• Position: Bridge
• DC Resistance: 17.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Ceramic

• Position: Neck
• DC Resistance: 7.9 kΩ
• Magnet: Alnico 5

Halcyon humbuckers were born out of an intense R&D session with Mike Stringer, Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood and Tim Mills during a stopover in the UK on Mike’s intense Spiritbox touring schedule. The brief was to create a humbucker set designed primarily for 7 string guitars tuned down to F# and to embrace not only Mike’s massive driven tone, but also his unique approach to using bridge and neck pickups together for his clean tones.

The die was cast and Mike went back on tour for some heavy beta testing. By the end of the run all of Mike’s live guitars featured the new Halcyon pickups.

Halcyons are built on a twin blade pole design which allows for even string to string balance, no matter the string gauge or tuning, whilst being extremely practical for multi-scale fitment too.

The bridge is powered by a trio of custom size ceramic magnets which help to control the bottom end response, working in conjunction with the hot wind to deliver an incredibly dialled in mid-range and high end attack.

Utilising a more moderate wind, the neck pickup is powered by an isotropic Alnico V magnet to increase dynamic headroom and combine with the bridge for Mike’s ambient clean tones. Both pickups are designed to have exceptional coil split tones and work equally well wired in parallel.
