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)
“Tried a Whole Lotta Humbucker and that went too far the other way as I suppose I like hotter than vintage and it was too harsh in the midrange, too spiky.”
“I have my Whole Lotta Neck set fairly close to the strings (2/32 ths for both the treble and bass side) I have not adjusted the polepieces.”
