Comments: Tim is a gentleman and a genius. He had the time to talk through the options and actually understood what I was after, It was refreshing to talk directly with who would be making these monsters I doubt very much Larry or Seymour would give of their time so easily. Thanks Tim Blinding piece of Kit!! I have a set of Mules on order now so will let you know how those bad boys sound.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this pickup a: 10 Fantastic value

Comments: Having called Seymour Duncan and Dimarzio and finding that Seymour and Larry weren't available to talk on the phone about their pickups(!)I tried Bareknuckle. Talking to Tim was such an refreshing experience, he understood what I was tring to achieve with my tone not just pushing the latest product but spending the time to find out what was going to work for me. This is the only way I will buy pickups now and have just gone back to get a set of Mules for my Les Paul classic. The information knowledge, all around advice is worth the money alone! Why would you ever consider buying from anyone else. Tim you are a gentleman and a genius
