Guitar manufacturer only using BKPs?
« on: January 14, 2013, 11:46:34 AM »
Hi all,
New BKP user here. I came across BKP half a year ago when I wanted something better for a cheapo Stagg SG, and found a second hand Mule for sale. Since then I've added a second Mule and put these in a proper guitar, bought a Tele on a whim because it had BKP Brown Sugars and upgraded my Fender mahogany Tele with a Yardbird and a Flat '52. Couldn't be happier, great stuff :-)

A while back I came across what seemed to be a new guitar manufacturer, I think he was just starting out. He was getting test runs build of (I think...) 3 different models, all using BKPs. Now I want to see what is going on with these guitars, but I can't rememeber the name. Does anyone know who this could be?

Thanks,
Ton from Amsterdam

Not sure who was mentioned in he article but Feline Guitars (my company) use Bare Knuckle Pickups for about 90% of our custom builds, and have done for the last 7 years.

Being a truly custom built company we will put in whatever is requested by the customer

Not you I think, it wasn't a custom builder and he only had a few models.
I took a look at your website, very nice. Love the 'I am the law' model. And I should have had that letter inlay on the neck on the Spider Bass years ago :-)
Ooooh, and the blue Pete Becket Tabby Tele! Niiice!

Are you perhaps thinking of BJ and Byrne?
