Here's my video comparing 2 high output bridge pickups, a Bare Knuckle Pickups Nailbomb (Alnico V) vs Bare Knuckle Pickups Holy Diver (Alnico V) on my Solar Guitars S1.6PB.

They're both high gain humbuckers, however they're very versatile and can do pretty much any genre, specially if you consider their excellent split coil sounds and how good they perform clean or on edge of breakup.

I mostly focus on metal riffs, but there are some clean examples and Lead and Solo examples.

… making this video made me want to try their other pickups even more, besides these 2, I already own the Bare Knuckle Juggernaut, Silo, BKP The Mule Set and Warpig. So maybe the Bare Knuckle Polymath or Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell next?
