    Fralin Pure PAF set played next to Bare Knuckle Mules
    Fralin Set: Alnico 2 - 7.8k neck and 8.2k bridge
    Bare Knuckle - Alnico 4 - 7.3k neck and 8.4k bridge
    Lick 1 - full guitar volume
    Lick 2 - guitar volume 4
    Lick 3 - guitar volume 7
    lick 4 - full guitar volume
    Played the same licks as close as possible. Pickups loaded into the same guitar, with the same amp on the same exact settings. 1 close mic only. Reverb from logic.
    The height of the pickups is relative the same. The pole screws were adjusted to taste.
    RS Guitarworks electronics in my guitar. EQcable cables being used.

    Fralins really impressed me here. I’ve always discounted them as lindy is such. Single coil guy but these sound killer here.

      Yea. The room translated. They were killer setting next to the amp too!

    Wish both sets were either covered or uncovered for the comparison (only critique). Excellent playing and demonstration of each set. Thank you.

      I do too. It just happens that a friend loaned them and they were uncovered best I could get for the time. Thanks so much! Cheers! (Lots more shootouts on the channel
      By the way)

    Awesome!!! I liked both. The bare knuckle seem just a little brighter and open, maybe because they don’t have a pickup cover, I like that in humbuckers because I can always roll off a little tone...

    Mules sound better to me. Last lick really demonstrates that.

    I use RS True 60s, wound by Lindy, in my R9 and in a Workhorse built by RS. Their wiring in both guitars. I love em.
    The Fralins, especially the neck, sounded warmer than the Mules you compared. I’m sure a knob tweak could make them indistinguishable.

      Oh yea. The True 60s are absolutely frantastic. I also use all RS wiring. I have a True 60s video on my channel. Hope you subscribe. I do lots of pickup stuff!!!

      I certainly will subscribe. Thanks. Check out Brian Porter pickups too. I have a Micawber clone loaded with his PAF on the neck and a Florance Voodoo 59 on the bridge. Both stellar. Brian’s a great guy whole deserves some attention.
      I have a Strat with two Fralin Real 54s and a Blues Blade. I’m a tone geek. Lol.

      Shane McCrae Hey! I have also videoed the Porter Anthems and Brian just sent me a set of his new Ricochet pups that are in my SG. Working on a video now!

    • @ShaneMcCrae

      Perfect. Brian’s a small fish in a big pond but he really does have the mojo. I have a Vintage Tele Bridge Porter pickup that needs a home. I’ll be ordering a companion neck from him soon and getting my buddy to build me a Blackguard for them.

    I dig the sparkle and articulation of the Fralins.however there is something to like in both depends what a person is looking for. I would love to see you demo fralin split blade pickups
