Holydiver humbucker
BUY ONLINE handwound just for you
The Holydiver is a celebration of the original '80s hot-rodded humbuckers and offers high output with the mature, earthy voice of an Alnico V powered rock pickup.
The Holydiver humbucker has a progressive, modern tone and wide dynamic range. Fat mids, warm and compact bass and harmonic rich highs work together to provide the perfect answer for progressive players looking for a versatile, powerful humbucker.
From solid, contemporary clean tones, through to aggressive high-gain saturation, the Holydiver is ideal for technically and tonally demanding players.
The wide dynamics and mids of the Holydiver are excellent for adding depth and body to lighter weight, bolt-on neck guitars and extremely well suited to high-gain applications that benefit from a sweeter treble response.
Available in all our open coil and covered custom finishes.

Bare Knuckle PickupsCustomer Reviews
Got the Holy Divers installed in my Les Paul and they work perfectly in that guitar. They tame the highs a bit just like what I wanted and the guitar sounds great now. Thanks for the guidance, and another set of outstanding humbuckers!
I just wanted to say how thankful and appreciative I am for the care and consideration that’s gone into not only building the pickups, but also for the attentiveness to my request. I had asked if it was possible to have them dispatched earlier, and you kindly went a mile further to make it happen - having them sent out to arrive for the 9th. That helps me hugely and puts me in a great position, as I’ll be tracking our new EP with them very soon and was on a tight schedule to get them installed. Thanks again for your time, care, and great service.
