ElChoad Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) 1 hour ago, HANGAR18 said: I'm in the middle of researching a brand of pickups from England called Bare Knuckles. I have had two sets of these and loved them both. I had a pair of Rebel Yells in a Studio and they were great. Very responsive to tone adjustments. I currently have a pair of Black Dogs in my Goldtop. They have been in there since '15. They just sound great in that guitar. I am lucky enough to have a dealer fairly close that was also a Gibson dealer. He had every set on his wall in an LP. Made it really easy to try them out.

I have BK The Mule set on my H150 Gold Top, you can hear them here, great tone if you're in US though I'd check some more US builders for less import costs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 I have a set of zebra Wolfetone Marshallheads with A2 magnets that I really don't need. I also have a set of 89 first year issues of Duncan Pearly Gates wound by MJ that I don't need. Let me know if you're interested in either set.

Millennium Maestro Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) You drilled out a barrel jack, why not just remove some wood in the PUP route for the long legs? Edited April 19 by Millennium Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 No real need to. 59's with A2 sound great. And I've been known to accidentally drill through bodies of cheap guitars. I don't want to take that risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 I finished the mods on this. I kept the Duncan '59 set, but I replaced the magnets with A2 and added nickel covers. I had some CTS push/pull pots, and the pickups had 4 leads so I rewired it with PIO caps and coil splits. I had a Gotoh nickel bridge, so I used it. I installed an aluminum tailpiece with locking posts. Gotoh locking tuners. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunkKitty Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 If I decide I don't like the '59s for some reason, I have a set of Lollar Imperials I can put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
