I've never heard of a 140, however, upon looking it up, they look identical, so I'd say they are probably the same.

and Bareknuckle pickups? never heard of them. I was thinking dimarzio, probably a tone zone for the bridge, but still undecided for the neck and middle pickups (if there will be a middle pickup) this guitar is going to turn into my metal machine. so I need some nice high gain pickups. I don't want to do EMG's though for some reason, I couldn't give a real reason why not, I just would rather have some nice high output passive pickups.
