What turned you on to Bare Knuckles?

[Philly Q]

Terrible response.... I can't remember!  :oops:

Probably just saw an ad in Guitarist, I suspect, or a review somewhere.  And here we are.

Mansons in Exeter recommended them to me when I wanted a new humbucker...that was a long time and a lot of pickups ago!

[FELINEGUITARS]

Saw a small article about them pretty much just as they got started 10 years ago.
Then 9 years ago we were exhibiting opposite them at the 2004 London Guitar Show and I got to listen to them in a few guitars. We became a new dealer that weekend - one of the first(!) and then soon after ended up making an explorer guitar for Tim.

Jonathan, I didn't know you'd made a guitar for Tim. Any pics?

Not sure where exactly I first read about BKP but I took the chance to buy a used HD bridge and CS neck on ebay. Put them in my PRS Custom and they beat every pickup previously in there. I still have that set even though it's not in a guitar at the moment.

We supplied it without pickups as Tim wanted to experiment with what he'd like in it.


Here is a pic of the Mules that Tim loaded it with


It may have had any number of pickups in it over the years though.
Great solid sounding guitar!

thats an awesome explorer. i would love to get another one some day. how much would you charge for something like that? not sure if i'd prefer the strap button where it is compared to the gibsons though. not that it would be a big deal.

[FELINEGUITARS]

Our custom stuff like that kicks in at about £2000.
Superbly made stuff though!

[littleredguitars2]

Understandable.  I should check out your page and see what else is on there.

Careful!  There's lots of good stuff to tempt you!  :P

yeah i already made that mistake. the LP style ones and the explorer above have me drooling

There were a few things that led me in that direction, but the thing that sealed the deal was this 'tim' guy on the other end of the phone that actually gave a $%&# that I got the tone I wanted.

I would trust Tim with my tone any day

That Explorer is stunning! Gotta get me one some day.

I do love Explorers and Vs, but I have come to the realisation that they are not designed for the smaller person....
