What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat
“The low end hits with punch and intention.”
“On a clean channel, the neck opens up with a glassy chime that stays controlled and musical.”
On the Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker (SH-18)
“With similar push and drive as the 59 Model set, the Whole Lotta Humbucker is a little more articulate in the lows and a little tastier in the highs.”
“There is a really nice balance to the set, compliments of a slight snarl in the mids.”
