with bkp's really taking off how will this affect the overall production of the pickups?? will more orders result in mass production? i hope it doesnt..

the great thing about bareknuckle is that everything is HAND MADE..and nowadays we just dont get hand made things as much as we would like..

I don't see Tim and Steve as the type to sell out. Handmade british products are the way to go  :lol:

I think Tim's already stated quite a few times, that no matter how popular the pickups get, and no matter how much demand grows, that the production, process and customer service of BK won't change. :)

Yes, I hope BKP can manage to stay where they are now. And not start to cut corners in a mass-production mess.

From speaking with Tim, he seems very much hell bent on making the best pickups he possibly can and doing precisely whats needed to achieve that. I dont see him so much as looking sideways at even an auto-shutoff winder. I very much get the impression that he takes pride in creating and providing simply the best sounds he can, and I cant see that changing with the popularity of BKPs.

Hell, its that attidude thats made BKPs so popular in the first place. It wouldnt be a wise move to change that, and I'm sure the Tim knows that.

Yes, it actaully means a LOT that BKP's are handmade, great quality and have stellar parts&workmanship.
If You find "the" pick-up, it will most likely stay in the guitar for years on.
I would rather pay that extra cash to get the real thing, instead of mass produced so-so stuff.

BKP, keep up the good work!!! 8)
