What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Abraxas
“The Abraxas isn’t some mid-scooped, high-gain mudfest.”
On the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Éclair
“The mids have more of a growl, if you are expecting the roar of the JB.”
“To maintain the comparison, players that find the JB's low end too boomy will appreciate the bold yet genteel firm lows of the Éclair.”
