bareknuckle pickup for prs s2
« on: March 07, 2025, 02:41:32 AM »
Hey I'm looking for bareknuckle pickups for my prs s2. I mostly play a wide genre of music. Mostly john mayer bluesy stuff. And alot of metal. Any recommendations?

There's a couple of different directions you could go there: If you want to cover a range of sounds that wide, you can either go with a powerful pickup that will nail the metal thing, but works nicely when backed right off (as a bonus, you would get some good options for split-coil sounds with a hotter pickup)- for that I would look at the Alnico Nailbomb - or, you could go for a vintage voiced pickup that's a little on the brighter side and potentially play around with the tone control to mellow things out for lighter styles - something like the Riff Raff has plenty of cut for metal tones, but is more in the output ballpark that would be appropriate for your more bluesy tones.

Personally, I would go Alnico Nailbomb and wire in some coil-split or parallel switching to give you a really versatile range of humbucker and singlecoil tones.

Hi all, yes, it's another Tim! I'll be here to answer any questions you want to throw at me, here or via sales@bareknucklepickups.co.uk
