Their goal in pickup design is ultimate tone and versatility. They use only the finest materials in their construction and they are all made by hand in house. Many companies make high output pickups that are great for metal and heavy rock but if you try to use them for anything else they fall on their face. Bare Knuckle pickups know that you may want to clean up your sound sometimes so they make their pickups able to do both, and they do both extremely well.

These pickups are also very quiet when it comes to background noise, this is quite rare on high output pickups. The Nailbomb is a very articulate pickup and it cuts through the mix very well. The Nailbomb may be a bit expensive but for this tone and this versatility it is worth it.
