Well if you're referring to the Hondo II, I maintain you shouldn't bother, though I admit I may be biased. A Hondo II was my first ever guitar. It was a natural wood finish and cost me about £60 brand new. To this day I won't buy a natural wood finish guitar and as soon as I could afford it, I upgraded to an Ibanez Rocket Roll II (Flying V). Like all guitars, if you throw enough time, effort and money at it, the instrument can be improved but on a guitar that is so cheap, I can't see the point in fitting a set of pickups that would be worth more than the whole guitar. To my mind, you'd be far better simply upgrading the guitar. Once you've bought a couple of Bare Knuckle pickups, maybe a couple of pots and had it all installed, you're talking at least £250 but I bought my PRS SE Custom 24 for just £100 more than that and even with stock pups, it's vastly superior to a Hondo II. I'd much rather have my PRS stock than a Hondo II with Bare Knuckles in it. BKP are great, but they're not a magic wand. I honestly don't mean to be harsh here but I equally don't want you wasting your money. If you're determined to put new pups in it, get some second hand Seymour Duncans or DiMarzios then at least you've only wasted half as much money but still improved the tone. If you're really determined to throw that much money at it and you want a hot pickup, try a set of Cold Sweats if you want a more classic voicing and Nailbombs if you want something more modern and aggressive.
