What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Stormy Monday
“The marketing spins a tale of sweet and warm bass smooth high end and mellow attitude.”
“Coil split or parallel wiring options open up a very chime filled snap and a glassy sparkle that shifts this set into a new dimension.”
On the DiMarzio PAF 57
“Sound nothing like the Gibson 57 Classic to me…..which I find boxy and blurry sounding. The Dimarzios are really open and clear.”
Comparing with Gibson 57 Classic
“The creamy bold low end and the sweetly precise highs.”
