Glad to hear you liked the Mother's Milk pups Thom. I have a few other BKP's in another guitar and they're fantastic so I'm really quite excited to get the next set..... I've spoken with Tim and he said he can't do them fully covered. I guess I'll take a chance on a set of covers and see I I can get...

Fiting covers to non-covered pickups.

I'm about to take the hit on a pair of Bareknuckle Mother's Milk pickups for my Musicmaster => Duo-Sonic II project. I've spoke to Tim at BKP and they are not able to make fully covered pickups but they do make flat profile, rather than staggered pole pieces if requested but Tim informs me that the ...

In my mind, there are 4 variations of the musicmaster... The late 50's early 60's type The mid 60's change to MM II in line with the mustang Then there seems to be a slight change in headstock style ?late 60's And then the late 70's change, in line with the Bronco But mine is like a mustang but with...

Or should I just f@ck it and whack a mustang plate on it and convert it to a Duo II.

Just worried about those switches getting in the way.... they did when I had a Jag-Stang.......

Yeah I think rob is right on this, as long as it's a MM II guard they should all be the same. They changed between the original Musicmaster and the Musicmaster II, but I believe they remained constant after that. Yeah, my thoughts too. I guess the guy is just being cautious because he doesn't have ...

It's a musicmaster II - so like a mustang but with a hard tale bridge and just a pickup in the neck position. All musicmasters just have the one pickup in the neck... Yeah, I guess I could probably send my shrunk plate and the guy could compare. I'm based in the UK though and this guy is in the US -...

'71 Musicmaster pickguard/scratchplate - help!

I have recently acquired a '71 Musicmaster which is in need of a little work - pickups, rewire and a new scratchplate. I've been in touch with a guy on Ebay (Jeannie's) who has musicmaster plates,...
