The Bare Knuckle Pickups Boot Camp Old Guard Middle Single Coil is hand wound in the UK with flat profile Alnico II magnets and reverse wound reverse polarity (RWRP) for hum-cancelling in positions 2 and 4 of a stratocaster. The Old Guard pickups are mainly aimed at classic blues, rock, country, pop and alternative tones. From the Boot Camp range, their Old Guard pickups are in the low output range and produce an open, dynamic tone. The Bare Knuckle Boot Camp is a stripped back, no-nonsense pickup range aimed at guitar players who just want to cut to the chase and have great tone.
