Excellent condition Bare Knuckle Alnico Nailbomb bridge pickup, 53mm spacing (F-spacing), nickel cover. Pickup has full lead length. Box and paperwork included, as well as springs, etc. I bought it new and had it in a custom direct-mount guitar for a few months, but I'm more of a PAF guy and decided that this is too high output/too aggressive for me and went with a Bare Knuckle Emerald in this guitar instead.
It's really a great pickup though, and considered one of the most versatile high output pickups out there. People say that it can do everything from hot blues to classic rock to modern metal, however for me personally, I think it sounds like the ideal 90's and beyond aggressive/hard rock or metal pickup. It cleans up pretty well and responds great to rolling the volume back, but to my ears, it has a nice "bite" that makes it excel at more aggressive music, which ultimately wasn't what I wanted all of the time.
Because it was in a direct-mount guitar, the holes are drilled for wider screws (I believe 1/8") than normal, so depending on how your guitar mounts the pickups, you might need to pick up some additional hardware at the store. If it's going into another direct mount guitar you should be fine. My guitar has wood screw anchors like these, so the screws never "attach" to the pickup, if you know what I mean. The screws just go through the pickup holes into these screw inserts in the guitar, and springs keep it floating tightly in place.
I just want to make sure that whoever buys it has no issues mounting it.
I'd like to get $130 PayPal'd and shipped, thanks!
