Bare Knuckle Boot Camp Old Guard Humbucker In Zebra – Neck

Old Guard

The Old Guard pickup series from Bare Knuckle Pickups is a warm, moderate output series designed for classic blues, rock, country and pop.

We all love the sounds of our favourite guitars from the 50’s and 60’s but very few guitars and even fewer pickups capture the essence of that era of guitar tone so perfectly.

This pickup is everything you could ever need for all your classic, mid output guitar tones,

Humbucker 50mm

This pickup is a humbucker designed to fit a guitar with a standard stoptail or 50mm bridge. You may have heard of this being call ‘standard’ or ‘G’ spacing in the past.

To find out if this is the right pickup check your string spacing measurements at the bridge and the nut.

Nearly all guitars will use either ‘Standard’ or ‘F’ spacing. As a rule of thumb fixed bridges are ‘Standard’ and tremolo systems are ‘F’ spaced. This is not always the case though.

Here is how to check.

All of these string spacing measurements are the distance between the first and 6th string.

If your string spacing at the bridge is less than 53mm you need a standard (50mm) humbucker for the bridge. If it is 53mm or greater you will need the F spaced bridge pickup.

If your string spacing at the nut is less than 43mm then you need a standard (50mm) humbucker for the neck position. If it is 43mm or greater you will need the F spaced neck pickup.
