Newsletter - July 08, 2013 Review: Bare Knuckle PG Blues Pickups — Gary Moore's Choice I recently installed a set of Bare Knuckle PG Blues pickups into one of my Les Pauls. I've always been somewhat fascinated by this pickup company because their pickups are produced close to where I grew up in Devon, England. The company was founded in 2003, which was around the time I started playing guitar. I've never really had the opportunity own a set of these pickups because I've always played vintage instruments and preferred to keep them stock. That was until recently, when I bought a 1991 Les Paul Studio as a touring guitar. Although this guitar sounded good with the stock pickups, I couldn't resist the opportunity to install a set of Bare Knuckles and find out how good they sounded. There was no doubt in my mind this was the brand I wanted, especially after reading on their website that Gary Moore and John Sykes (two of my favorite guitar players) used these pickups. All I had to decide was which model I should go for. I emailed the guys at the company, who told me Moore used the PG Blues model in two of his live guitars. Moore fans will know Peter Green was a huge influence on his playing. According to their website, the PG Blues pickups are "designed to replicate the tones of Peter Green's famous '59 Les Paul." This is the same Les Paul he gave to Moore in 1972. Even though I'm more of a hard rock/heavy metal player, I liked the idea of a 59 PAF-sounding pickup set for my touring guitar.
