What players and reviewers say

On the Bare Knuckle Peacemaker

The low end is thick without getting soggy.

The highs stay sweet and round but still have enough bite to talk back when you dig in.

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.
