Wasn't even considering one until i saw this video:



That fucking sound. That sounds sweeter than any Les Paul neck Humbucker tone i've heard and i need that.

I was thinking that if i were to put a bare knuckle Mule set on my super strat with a fender MIM strat body, would i get close to those tones?

That does sound killer. Full and plenty of kick, but still sweet. I’ve got a Lil’ 59 Neck in my Super strat and I absolutely love it.
 
I have Bare Knuckles in my LP (Abraxas bridge Riff Raff neck with Jimmy Page wiring)& love them, can't speak directly to Strat. They are very responsive as a company, do live chat and email with quick turns if you have questions. Here's a YT video of Mule set in a Superstrat:

 
My favorite is the Dimarzio Transition neck. Great in a super Strat.
 
Most superstrats are not mahogany bodies with maple tops with mahogany necks with Brazilian rosewood fretboards. That is more of a long scale, bolt-on neck "Les Paul" than a "superstrat" IMO.

Sounds killer but could be quite disappointing in 99% of the superstrats out there.

Phil Collen's signature Jackson has a mahogany body and a maple top and it still sounds like any other superstrat and nothing like the one in that video imo. I wouldn't attribute such a tonal difference to a neck and fretboard wood in this case.
 
My Warmoth has a mahogany body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard and sounds very similar to an LP…thick and beefy. It sounds very different than my alder Chubtone that sounds very superstrat-ish. Same pickups in both.
