What players and reviewers say

On the Bare Knuckle Ragnarok

“The Ragnarok neck has the same syrupy but clear mids and top end of its bridge counterpart, but with a more reduced low end.”

“The combination of a substantial low end, strong mids and controlled highs gives the pickup enough personality to remain interesting as the gain comes down.”

On the DiMarzio Steve Morse Model

“It works great in the Steve Morse model guitar or in an ax pushing a Mesa Rectofier as it doesn't get muddy and is very punchy through an amp with a lot of lows like the Mesa.”

“Yes, it's dark ish, I had treble at 3 o'clock, but it DOES sound like Steve Morse, that's his tone.”
