Title: HSS Stratocaster Bare Knuckle Humbucker Recommendation
Post by: danmody999 on July 05, 2023, 11:47:47 PM

Hey Guys - Thank you in advance for any advice I receive on this post. I just ordered a custom shop HSS Strat and was looking to install bare knuckle pickups. In almost every guitar I've had over the past 15 years, I've had a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge position. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to which bare knuckle humbucker would give me a similar sound. The tone I try (try being the key word lol) to achieve is somewhere between the master of puppets album and a more melodic pop punk sound (take off your pants and jacket album, rise against, title fight etc...). I like how the War Pig and Aftermath demos sound on the Bare Knuckle website - Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks Again!

The ceramic Warpig should get you closest to the Invader voicing, but the Aftermath would certainly be a good alternative, with a bit more growl in the mids, sharper highs and a faster attack, due to the more powerful magnet set.
