so i recently watched this video and i really liked the tone i heard. and i was very surprised to find out that these were alnico II pickups. i'm just curious if there was a BKP that was similar in tonal qualities as this one? my first thought might be a VHII?

The 10th anniversary is quite like it and the PG blues has a lot going for it in that direction

Tim said the 10th Anniversaries would nail that tone.

Are the 10th anniversary pups alnico 2?

“The design is based on a pair of vintage humbuckers I made for one of my own guitars recently. I have enjoyed the voicing so much I thought the pair would be perfect to mark the 10th anniversary of Bare Knuckle Pickups.

I've wound the coils by hand with 42 AWG plain enamel wire keeping the wind asymmetrical between the two coils and then using a rough cast Alnico II magnet which I've aged. Both bridge and neck humbuckers are wound differently to optimise the tone and balance of their respective positions on the guitar.

Tonally they bear all the hallmarks of a classic Bare Knuckle; touch sensitive dynamic response, clarity and beautiful vocal delivery.” Tim Mills, 2013
