Bare Knuckle Apache "50s" Strat Pickup Set
Item: KNAPACHESET
Bare Knuckle Pickups is a small, privately owned business based in the South West of England that has quickly earned the reputation of building some of the best sounding pickups on the planet. We are very excited to be a Bare Knuckles dealer.
The Bare Knuckle Apache single coils are based on the rounder, fatter tones of the original '54 to '57 coils. Deep bottom end with a bell-like chime in the highs and rich, wide mid range produce a crystal-clear clean tone without ever sounding harsh or thin. Overdriven tones sound full and crunchy with plenty of body for single note work. Scatter-wound by hand with vintage correct Heavy Formvar wire, the bridge coil is wound a little hotter to give better balance across the set. The calibrated Alnico III magnets are hand-bevelled and set in fibre board flat work in either the original '54 stagger with low G magnet or the more common '56 stagger. The low magnetic pull of the Apache allows for excellent dynamics and perfect intonation.
