BKP best for early Iron Maiden

Tim and you other fortunate guys that have many a bare knuckle, elaborate.

Which of the Bare Knuckle Pickups is best suitable for the early Maiden days. Not just the distortion, but the cleans, articulation, and sweetness of their tone from Killers.

Well, the early IM sound was heavily influenced by Thin Lizzy ... I won't go into a riff-by-riff comparison, but there are several that come immediately to mind.

I would say the Emerald would do it the best.

Absolutely, PAF style and super distortions if I remember correctly so Emerald or Cold Sweat will do the job nicely.
