I swear I read somewhere that someone on here has a plain black Bareknuckle.. think it may have been "Miracle Man Matt" or something like that.

That's true...I'd still go for regular black, with black screws - looks just as cool imo

never said they were, says so right in thread I linked :P ;)

Anyway, why anyone would wanna put a Hand Made work of art such as a BKP in a guitar and then have the possibility of it being mistaken for an EMG, ewwwwwwwww lol :) (just kiddin')

I saw the link! they look just like I want! BKP mixed with the emg look! so... does it affect sound or something? how can I do that? I need to know... :o

Buy a pair of these:

Then send them to Tim when you make your order and he wil wind them appropriately to compensate for the cover, and he can fit and pot the covers for you.

thanks!!

so I would buy the "uncovered" humbuckers I suppose and I'll just send them to Tim so that he can finish them and he could even engrave the logo if I want, that would be perfect :D

but... only one last question...

do they affect the sound somehow? :? I really hope not

barely, you wont notice it with such great pickups

Tell him when you order them and he can wind them slightly hotter and brighter (the benefit of hand winding). Just explain to him what you want and he'll be more than happy do discuss it with you I'm sure.

I already sent him the mail for the request... If he agrees I'll tell him to make them sound the best even if they are covered.

thanks alot guys! you are great! I almost bought EMG pickups only for the looks :oops: but I'm shure that these metal plated covered BKP will sound incredible!!

You will not regret it.

UPDATE

Tim said:
"They don't work..............like I said you really need one row of pole pieces that come through the cover or the p/up has reduced power and high end.Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

so... I'll have to order a set of black battle worn pickups without being worn, I hope they will look nice in my guitar.
