I love 52 teles, and the look of that one is absolutely classic.

Idk how amazing Bareknuckle tele pups are so they may blow the 52 out of the water for all i know

There the piledriver ones, there meant to be quite high output. Think maybe better for higher gain stuff, i may be wrong though!

As a 52 tele owner how would you describe the neck, is it quite thin or fat? I've got quite long thin hands, would it suit me?

Thanks alot mate

It is very comfortable, I kinda have short fat hands so we are going from different points to begin with but it is definitely the most fun neck I have. It seems to be a pretty thin neck to my feel but it has never bothered me. It is a little rounder in the back then my les paul and it makes it more comfortable for chords.

If the BKPs are too high gain I'd steer clear, the pups in the '52s do a very wide range of tones, perfect for your category
