Bareknuckle probably have the best reputation of all British-made pickups (even though Jim Cairns's pickups are the best). The "Apache" set is reckoned to be their version of the 1959 Strat sound.

So, yes... probably...

I hope you're not referring to the version of Move It where Hank guest appeared on Marty's 50th Anniversay tour. To my ears, that strat sounded awful and, judging from the expressions on Hank's face at one point, he thought so too.
