Frequently Asked Questions

Bare Knuckle's Old Guards generally offer a slightly more refined and nuanced tone, with a touch more clarity and a smoother high end compared to some of Duncan's hotter P90 models.
Most Les Paul-style guitars will be a direct fit, but always double-check your spacing and mounting hole alignment before installation.
These are not potted, which contributes to their open and dynamic sound; however, Bare Knuckle offers potting services for a small additional fee to reduce noise.
