I received this guitar this morning and couldn't stop playing it. I was skeptical about it having passive pickups since I've always had actives in all of my guitars. The Bare Knuckle Aftermath set definitely have that bass response that I'm always looking for. This would be my second guitar to have aftermarket passives already installed and it has definitely changed my mind about them completely. The finish is absolutely beautiful. The matching pickups with the finish fits so well. This would also be my very first natural-ish finish guitar. I do see a few imperfections on the finish. Not very noticeable at the face of the guitar. More on the bevel and behind the neck. The strings are once again cut too short behind the post but did not fall or slip out of place like the last RGD I bought. The monorail bridge is the same as always, though I wish it had a Gibraltar or a Hipshot since the price is up there. Overall, it's a hell of a guitar and I would definitely recommend it.
Features
The Bare Knuckle Aftermaths are new to me. I've always had active (EMG, Fishman Fluence Moderns, Seymour Duncan Blackouts) in all of my years of playing guitar. I have a Schecter with a Nazgul Sentient set and these top it.
