Excellent, as are all BKP products.
The neck pickup is very Strat-like. Very warm, almost woolly, but not in a bad way. It produces a creamy tone, not particularly bright.
The bridge is powerful and cutting. This set likes a good overdrive, rather than distortion (although I've found some great high gain settings). The bridge pickup starts to break up the clean channels on my amps pretty early.
Neck and bridge in parallel sounds, again, very Strat-like. But the real revelation is the neck and bridge in series - that sounds awesome - very thick and powerful
Overall Rating
:
No Opinion
All of my guitars have BKPs in them. Unless it's exceptional out of the case, it gets treated to world class pickups.
