Hello chaps.
First off - only the pickups are Bare Knuckle, the pick-guard was made by 'The Rhoadhouse' - a UK custom builder of guitar electronics.
I bought this for a custom build which never got done, so everything is *new*.
The colour of the pick-guard is mint green.
Here are the pickup specs:
6 String Open Neck - Trilogy model
Magnet Profile - Vintage Stagger
Colour Finish - Cream
Colour Type - Standard
6 String Open Middle - Trilogy model
Magnet Profile - Vintage Stagger
Polarity - RW/RP
Colour Finish - Cream
Colour Type - Standard
Note: HSS design
6 String Open Bridge - Crawler model
Pole Spacing - 53mm
Slug Bobbin Colour - Cream
Screw Bobbin Colour - Black
Leg Length - Short (1/4")
Conductor - 4
Pole Screw - Aged Nickel Screw
Here is the original seller description (I literally cut his text) for the pick-guard:
>>
THIS one is an 11- hole 1983-current, fully shielded with aluminium tape assembly in 'Light Mint Green,' though all Fender pattern, and most colour, requests can be catered for, including HSS/HSH/HH pickup config's. Custom pickguard/config's could also be spec'd but that would require a separate Listing to take into account the extra work involved.(if the interest is there?). Copper tape shielding IS an option but there's ZERO difference between the two, other than appearance!
Components now in use; Hosco DM-50 MiJ 5-way lever switch (VERY similar to the CRL equivalent, nice positive op. but not as noisy); quality Bourns pot's that are WAY better than those from CTS (again, pot. values selection depends upon pickup config. and are based on MY decades long experience as an engineer, not vicarious magazine or YouTube articles!); I DON'T use cloth-covered wire, for the same reasons no one wires their house with the stuff just because they used to 70 years ago(!!), I use silicone wire, because it's the effing 21st Century, so don't even ask! Silicone wire is neat, heat proof, and super flexible, and MUCH easier to work with; capacitors come in a vast range, I have literally 1000's in stock, and unless you specifically request a certain type/make/model, I will use whatever takes my fancy on the day. In an electric guitar, they ALL do EXACTLY the same job, some just (inevitably) cost me more to source than others...
...then, of course, you have the nifty Rhoadhouse screw-fit solderless connectors, so you'll be able to fit this yourself in a matter of minutes, whether you can solder or not!
Now, this basic setup comes as standard with Master Volume & Tone, with the Neck/Bridge Blend, whilst other versions will come with the spec. as indicated in the relevant Listing. ANY of them can also be supplied WITHOUT the screw-fit terminal blocks if you would rather hardwire the pickups in yourself.
<<
I'd have to say the solderless pickup connectors are brilliant and I was able to set the whole thing up myself just with a wee screwdriver. Soldering is uneccessary!
So there you go, pimp up your HSS strat.
If this doesn't sell in a month or so I'll split all the parts and sell them separately, but not at first!
