What players and reviewers say

On the Bare Knuckle PAT Pend '63 Veneer Board

This is still very much a pre CBS sound, but it reflects a period when Fender single coils begin to gain a little more authority in the mids and low end.

The bridge pickup cuts through with authority, while the neck pickup delivers thick lead tones that never become muddy.

On the Bare Knuckle Slow Hand Single Coil

The Slow Hand set features hand-beveled Alnico V magnets and modern polysol wire, which combine to give you thicker mids and a more focus in the treble response.

These pickups have a voicing to push the front end of your amp just a bit harder, making them perfect for dynamic playing – whether you're going clean, edge-of-breakup, or into light crunch territory.
