Yes, it's a Kemp and plays great - has modern/thinner neck profile. Pickups are flipping amazing @OilCityPickups LOL love the reply.
I know BKP supply a warranty card with serial number but I didn't get anything else with the guitar.
However, even with this 'supportive evidence' how would anyone be able to accurately verify the designation/specification of any pickups without returning them to BKP for checking or disassembling them ?
Just seems a bit self defeating for sales.
The only way is to use a sophisticated and very expensive gauss meter. Then you will need the reference gauss levels for each magnet type, and then there is no way to tell a partially charged alnico 5 say from a fully charged alnico 2. Some of BKs pickups, like the Riff Raff are built with short alnico 5 magnets ... so in theory you could take a magnet out and determine what the pickup was likely to be by that.

Exactly ... but most of us don't have a mass spectrometer hanging about the place. We do have a gauss meter ... but interpreting the results is a skilled business.
