Bare Knuckle Pickups Aftermath 6 Set Open BLACK-black Nickel Screw

A voicing tailored for modern metal: the Aftermath signature

The Aftermath 6 Set is designed for the modern metal guitarist who demands immediate response, surgical clarity, and controlled low end. In this Open BLACK version with Nickel Screw poles, you get a sleek and aggressive look, perfectly suited to metal-style guitars, while retaining the Aftermath sonic identity: punch, control, and precision.

Who is it for and which styles?

This humbucker set is aimed at musicians playing with high gain levels who want to keep chords clear even in the densest passages. Ideal for Punk, Hardcore, Hard Rock, Progressive Metal, Djent, Nu-metal, Thrash, Death Metal, Metalcore, and Extreme Metal. Suitable for any solid body guitar, especially heavily detuned or extended range instruments, and more broadly for any guitar needing more control in the bass and increased focus in the mids.

Design and character: ceramic at the bridge, Alnico V at the neck

The Aftermath bridge humbucker features a dual-screw design with hand-wound symmetrical coils, powered by 3 custom-sized ceramic magnets. The result: bass that reacts instantly to pick attack, focused mids for maximum impact, and clear highs that remain defined even under extreme gain. The pronounced compression provides generous sustain on single notes while maintaining a sharp and precise note onset.

The Aftermath neck humbucker, powered by Alnico V, is voiced for a fatter and more powerful tone, with a smooth, "vocal" type sustain when pushed, while maintaining a coherent balance with the bridge pickup. Thanks to the 4-conductor wiring, you can switch from a thick series humbucker to more open parallel textures or use each coil separately to expand your tonal palette.
