What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Abraxas
“The Abraxas isn’t some mid-scooped, high-gain mudfest.”
On the Bare Knuckle Holydiver
“The Holydiver pushes a broader low-mid voice with a smoother top-end contour and a more elastic feel under gain.”
“The low mids punch hard with that unmistakable 80s hard rock chest-thump that makes power chords feel enormous.”
