Thanks for the compliments and support. I'm glad you guys are enjoying your BKP's. Lots of props to Mike too for making BKP's available in Pinas, it's certainly a team effort.: )
My experience with BKP's started with a used Apache set that I put in an Edwards SRV relic strat(Alder body, rosewood board). It's a lot better than the stock Duncan SSL-1 neck and mid/SSL-5 bridge combo in that guitar. I had that guitar for 3+ years and I played from blues-rock to modern rock(e.g. 311's Down, Incubus' Nice to Know You and Anti-gravity Love Song, RHCP, etc) on it. It's my favorite BKP strat pickups set.
I also had an Esquire-type guitar done by Mike Sison loaded with BKP Flat 50's. I like it too but I'd say it's more like a punchy humbucker to my ears than a twangy Tele since it's a Broadcaster-voiced pu.
I had a PRS SC250 with a Mule Set with BKP Jentsen Caps. It's several more steps from the stock PRS pickups and gave the guitar more volume and tone control range. The stock PRS pickups(a common PRS weakness) are not good with in-between volumes. I sold that guitar as I realize I really can't get the Les Paul sound in my head with it and I used the cash to fund my Tyler.
The last one I had before I sold the Edwards Strat was a set of BKP Patent Pending '63 Veneer board. It has thumpier/crisper bass than the Apaches(boomier, warmer) and the treble strings are slightly thinner or wiry.
I have also tried the Mother's Milk in a friend's Strat which is middier and darker than either the Apaches and 63's but the output is still vintage-level.
More power bro Edgie. Love to order VHIIs soon.
