What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Stormy Monday
“I've installed them in PRS, McInturff, Gibson and Fender guitars, and in every case the result was fat, warm and smooth, with that Stormy Monday "honk" that everyone is chasing.”
“The marketing spins a tale of sweet and warm bass smooth high end and mellow attitude.”
On the Seymour Duncan Seth Lover Model (SH-55)
“On the other hand, the Alnico 2 CC and Seth Lover N has a great tone, which is a tad darker, but a little less crystal clear sounding.”
“If you take a Seth Lover and wind it hotter you’ll make it dark and looser.”
