You sure can spot a Muy Grande neck pup from a mile away. No cover and those huge pole pieces.
They are so clear and bright it is almost like having another bridge pickup.

I've heard great things about the Bare Knuckle pickups. Maybe some of guys from the UK can vouch for them. I asked Tim Mills (the guy that winds the Bare Knuckles) about the BK Country Boys, the Pile Drivers, and The Boss set. Here is what he wrote:

"well CBs (Country Boys) are bright and punchy but not darker or hotter-that's definately the job of The Boss tele coils-they sit mid way bewteen the CBs and the seriously hot and punchy Piledriver set.The PDs are great if you're after an all out powerhouse tone that doesn't sacrifice that Tele character while the Boss tips it's hat in that direction whilst still cleaning up nicely too.

kindest regards

Tim"

Nice guy to deal with, if you're interested.
