The Bare Knuckle VH II Calibrated Open Set Zebra have crystal clear highs, defined bottom-end and the versatile output of a vintage hot humbucker lay down the ultimate in clean overdrive and even harmonic response.
Totally unique approaches to the asymmetrical coils of the Bareknuckles VHII humbucker allow it to retain phenomenal clarity whilst maximising the output of 42 AWG plain enamel wire. Voiced to capture the original raw energy and brown sound of the late '70s, the vintage cut Alnico V magnet allows for a really open and touch sensitive feel. Harmonic overtones are strong and defined with excellent string separation producing a huge sound with superb pick attack even when used with extreme amounts of preamp gain. The design of the coils allows for great split and parallel options, working extremely well with rotary tone selectors.
Applications
Funk, Garage, Classic Rock, Heavy Rock and Fusion.
Suitability
Extremely well suited to double cut solid-body/bolt-on neck guitars but equally at home in glued neck and single cut guitars. Also works well on extended range instruments.
