The Vintage Vibe was already on my radar and I know "Pete" gets v. good feedback in general. Their CC Rider is not for an HB slot, I think. I'm also aware of the P-Rails, Lollar but not Bareknuckle,...
Funny enough, after reading and replying to this thread, some time later I noticed a hum on mine. It was when I was playing with headphones late one night and my actual playing on the guitar was...
