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 Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates (SHPG-1)
“To me they cover a lot of the same ground, but the BB3 seems less shrill in the high end.”
Comparing with Gibson Burstbucker Type 3
“The general consensus happens to be that the bridge is bright and the neck is dark.”
