It's so full of clear bottom and perfect pick attack. These pickups are in a whole other league - they're the real deal!'Steve Stevens. When Steve first came to Bare Knuckle he was adamant that the signature pickups he wanted were not just 'another metal pickup'. They had to be capable of a whole lot more. This kicked off a year of development and road testing while Steve was on tour culminating in the Rebel Yell humbucker signature set. Closer offset coils of 43 AWG plain enamel wire retain the mid range punch of the hotter Nailbomb but produce a tighter bass response with cleaner highs and more presence. This gives the pickup an organic voice with plenty of impact, perfect for any player wanting a progressive humbucker rich in harmonic overtones and wide pick dynamics. Steve uses his volume pot a lot when he plays, so it was important that the Rebel Yell cleans up well when backing off the volume, on top of being able to push a tube amp hard for a fully saturated overdrive. New Wiring Spec:Premium Full SG Wiring Harness Upgrade w/ Sprague Orange Drops50s Gibson Wiring UpgradeWant a little extra tone from your SG?Look no further!This harness contains 4 500k CTS TVT Short Shaft Audio Taper Pots, .015 Sprague Orange Drop, .022 Sprague Orange Drop capacitor pre wired with top grade copper ground wire. Pre wired Switchcraft switch with vintage style wiring and Switchcraft jack.500k Long Shaft CTS TVT Audio Taper PotentiometersBeing the measuring stick in the world of guitar potentiometers; CTS pots work to very tight tolerances to ensure accurate and consistent values. CTS "TVT" (True Vintage Taper) are the finest variation of a CTS Pot I have used. These pots boasts a 30% audio curve for a even smoother transition and make them closer to the old school pots used in the 50s and 60s. These pots also have solid brass thread and shaft and has a low turning torque to allow for those easy tweaks while you play. These really are the one of or even the best on the marketSprague Orange Drop capacitors. 5% tolerance .022 + .015 mfd 600 volt.Sprague Orange Drops are known throughout the guitar tone world as a great replacement for stock capacitors. As well as giving your guitar than vintage warm tone, Orange Drop capacitors also carry a little bite. These capacitors are great if you’re looking for in between that vintage warm mellow tone and a more modern slightly harsh tone. Great capacitor all around.With our pre wired kits we have decided to put the .015 in the neck position and the .022 in the bridge position. With these values in place it ensures the pickups are performing to their full potential and help you get that sweet tone you’re searching for.Traditionally a .022 capacitor is used in the neck position but we feel that a .015 capacitor removes the muddy nature and brighten up a neck pickup just enough.Good luck!
