A vintage-voiced pickup with extra weight in the mid-range!
The Bare Knuckle Black Dog humbucker is a formidable and throaty pickup, delivering a potent combination of deep bottom-end, muscular midrange, smooth highs, and higher output compared to a vintage PAF.
Crafted specifically for players seeking a vintage-inspired pickup with added weight in the midrange, the Black Dog utilizes modern polysol wire hand-winding techniques.
This approach allows it to match the asymmetrical coils of the Bare Knuckle The Mule set while ramping up the output and grind.
With a stronger and more vibrant midrange, along with extended bass response, the Black Dog excels in hot blues and hard rock tones, offering uncompromising clarity.
Each note in single-note playing carries weight and authority, accompanied by a robust high-end that truly sings when paired with additional preamp gain!
Even in clean settings, the Black Dog delivers depth and full-bodied resonance to each string, ensuring excellent note separation within chords.
