saw this on FB. very cool! the more pickups in the range, the better.

someone had a great suggestion though, it would be awesome if you guys offered white versions of the blackhawk.

Really need a HB range in the SC size option, some neck cavities are SC only. :angry:

Kind of looks like an "EMG-Sized" singlecoil, soo maybe something to approach the active SC tone - Lukather/Gilmour

I've been nailing down specs for a parts-caster so am really interested to see where this goes

Black Hawk single-coil, not a rails humbucker for Strats.  That's my assumption anyway.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Tim will be gigging it this weekend to test specs live. It will be a separate set of pickups but will work perfectly as an HSS or HSH with Black Hawk humbuckers.

littleredguitars2, unfortunately we can't make them in white as the material will mark while winding or in the potting process. If we come up with a solution for this then I'm sure we will try it!

James C, the slimmer design is to make sure it will fit any single coil sized mounting hole.

We are very excited here and a lot of the staff are getting their guitars ready for some of these!

Very very cool - when this comes out BKP close a gap in their selection. Hope this is going to be a success.

Cheers Stephan

I can finally buy a set of Blackhawks now that I can have a HSH set without a goofy looking single.
