BKP equiped custom Explorer
« on: May 18, 2006, 09:23:09 AM »
Hi all.

Just quickly wanted to join in the praises and thank everyone at BKP for making such excellent pickups!

I just had my Warpig/Mule equiped Explorer delivered from Shamray Guitars (www.Shamray.net) and I have to say, these pickups are probably the best I've ever tried!

The 'Pig is just beastly, low end rumble that'll blow your pants off, yet somehow it still manages to sound open and tonefull, never edging into muddy. The mule just gives you that lovely PAF mellowness, yet has enough grunt to stay with the 'Pig with both pickups on, a GREAT combo!

My thanks once again BKP and especially to Tim who gave me lots of advice on what would really work the best for me, I'll no doubt order another set of pickups from you within the near future. Just have to figure out what I want, so much to choose from...

BTW, the pickups have ebony covers crafted by my luthier at Shamray, they're not a new option offered by BKP, so don't pester Tim about it if you like the look.  :wink:

Stunning guitar!

What's the story on those covers? Are they homemade?

Wow, dude! That picture made my eyes tear up!   That is so purrrty.   I used to have a purple burst one of those, but not near as gourgeous.  Happy Shredding :D

Thanks guys, she sure is a beauty. Plays and sounds as good as she looks, too.

Just went ahead and ordered another set of BKP's for my beloved old Gibson Explorer (Miracle Man bridge/Cold Sweat neck). Should hopefully be an improvement over the stock p'ups, although I'm one of the few people who actually likes the Gibson 500T bridge p'up.
