Author Topic: New To BKP's (Read 2959 times)

I have an Epi SG Lespaul Custom with three total cr@p stock pickups in it which i have been wanting to replace for quite sometime now. I am very picky when it comes to choosing pickups and generaly look for just the right balance of tone and looks which is what brought me to The BKP site after hearing about the warpig. I am a HUGE fan of Black Sabbath and this is what first attracted me to the pickup(the name of course). That and the fact that it had so much output and just looked so damn cool only made me want some even more. However, I am in sort of a delima as I live in America and there currently are only 2 U.S. Dealers and I dont know if either of them cary warpigs or not. That on top of the fact that I would need them in either gold or distressed gold to match the gold hardware on my guitar. So my ? is; does Bare KNuckles Sell/Ship to the US? How would the currency exchange work(thro paypal?)? Can Warpigs be ordered in gold with the polepieice caps that come on the standard distressed nickel cover wp's?(I saw in the 'gallery' section that there were gold warpigs but they had the screw driver heads instead of the allen wrench ones) Thanks 4 ur help, I look forward to playing some BKP'S in the future!

Welcome to the forum!

Firstly, I'm sure American dealers will carry the WarPig, it is one of BKP's most popular and famous pickup, for a reason, they are utter beasts, a mate of mine has them and they really do shout the place down!

I'm pretty sure the guys can customise the cosmetics of your pickups to however you want it, I've seen some pretty cool so far and I the only problem I can see is getting Gold Allen Head bolts for the 'Pig.

Payment: Again, I'm sure Tim or Steve will come along to clear this up with you too, the best thing to do is to shoot them an e-mail with your requirements, they are more than happy to help, very enthusiastic and great guys (which reminds me, I need to order some camo single coil covers!)

Andy!

I live in the States and regularly get pickups from BK. There is no problem with shipping them here, and they arrive in about 1 week from shipping.

Not really true - more of an irritant American :twisted: I have actually lived in the US almost as much as in England at this point. This is my 26th year here! I just travel a lot :P

Hi and welcome :D
US dealers all carry stock Warpigs, custom finishes-just PM/mail me and we can sort anything out.
Sorry we don't do Paypal but we take most major cards through our online store www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/shop and ship the US almost everyday now.
