Just finished of 4 guitars and a bass and 3 of the guitars have got BKP's in them so i though i would show and tell:
The first guitar is my version of a LP Jnr. Its unusual because its made from the wrong type of ash (northern hard ash) and has a solid wenge neck. It should be overly bright but with a BKP-92 and a good tone control (300k pot and 0.047 capacitor) it is really very versatile. It goes all the way from tele-twang to bluesy LP warmth. Not bad for a single pickup guitar.
2nd is made from Black limba and burl maple with a birdseye maple neck and ziracote fretboard. Pickups are a crawler and mothers milk singles if i remember correctly. I wired it like a normal strat but with a coil split and bridge adder switch. It sounds excellent and incredibly warm, almost any classic sound you want is there.
I am still waiting for finished photos of the 3rd, its been built with my cousin and he has it for band practice. Its made from swamp ash and maple burl with a 3 peice flamed maple neck with wenge accent lines. The pickups are a set of chrome covered and engraved Nailbombs. We are very impressed with the quality and sound of these pickups, everything Tim claims they are!
Looks like i will be trying to use BKP's on all future guitars, i am that impressed!
Heres the two non-BKP instruments for anyone interested. I wish the guitar had some more BKP-90's but i had to go with what i had (Fender Black Dove's :x, dont sound too bad for the price i paid but they are the shoddiest looking pickups i have ever seen. Warped bobbins, loose windings and very fragile wiring). The bass has Seymour Duncan passive soapbars with an active 3 band EQ. Its pretty damn cool.
