If tone matters to you then you need a set of Bareknuckle pickups. Every instrument that has been through our shop and had Bareknuckles fitted has sounded the better for it and made for a very happy owner. It is always hard to appreciate what a new pickup can do for a guitar until you actually hear it but let us assure you - if you want increased clarity, string to string definition and better tonal response then the Bareknuckles will give you this.
Every part of a Bareknuckle pickup is made in house or sourced from the UK and the pickups are hand wound in the South West by guitar players who test and use the pickups. The pickups are scatterwound which is a more expensive process but results in a flatter tonal response and greater top end response than standard machine wound pickups. The whole range has been tuned by ear to give the kind of tones that all of us want from our guitars. All pickups are made to order and warranted for life
