Battleworn Bare Knuckles installed in RR1 USA Lightning

[ZL1hawk]

Just got this Rhoads back today after going in to the shop for new pickups and a setup. I don't know if you guys will like the Battleworn Bare Knuckle's look with the Lightning graphic but I do and they sound really good. Been playing this V through my Splawn Nitro tonight and snapped a few quick pics.

Bare Knuckle's Battleworn ceramic Miracle Man (b) and a Cold Sweat (n).

Great guitar, Brah. Lightning Sky can't be beat. You've got good taste
in amps too!

[Mudlark]

Pickups looks great to me.

[Axewielder]

Not bad, kind of look like sparks!

[veemagic]

Looks awesome to me. Great choice in pickups too. I have several of their miracle men. They are my favorite right now.

I have to take better pictures but they have a beaten up look, battle worn. Bare Knuckles allows not only for pups built to your specs (color, type of screws, magnet type) but also engraving, pictures, and so on. Each one is hand made so no 2 will ever look alike.

Couple of examples...

Camo Battleworn.

I've aged and relic'd hundreds of pick up covers to look really old and well worn those look like an after thought JMO.
Now here are some real battle worn items all but the hat it fell to pieces years ago.
The lighter still works too.

Battle worn is not supposed to look like relic'd pups

Nah not relics or vintage but something to go with the graphic on the guitar. Like they were damaged. Cheesy I know but I couldn't resist. I think I drooled for a Lightning Rhoads for maybe 20 years, give or take but GAS will do that to a person. I don't drink or do drugs so I have to spend my money on something.

You guys are just going to have to bear with me while I work through this.
