What pickup covers do you think would look good in my Horizon here?

I'm thinking maybe black covers or nickle. But I'm not sure... What do you think?

EDIT: Is there anyway to delete posts? Anyhow, i failed to understand the "cover" part, so if tey have to be covered id go black covers with allen bolts with them. Id try to match some color thats already on the guitar so that it doesnt look as if they didnt belong.

I'd probably do what nolly suggested, modern but still traditional.

Crazy stuff like the scratched black or 'warpig' style wouldn't work in such a guitar.

Very nice top though, gorgeous!

Glad other people agree, I realised I'd never seen a BKP like that as I wrote it. Could look very cool I think

Some ebony pickup rings could look pretty cool with the aforementioned nickel/allen bolt covers methinks

Thanks... Hehe I'm replacing the current pickups next month for a pair of Bareknuckles. Don't know exactly wich ones yet, but I just wrote Tim to hear his suggestion.

Good idea with the black pickup rings and chrome covers Nolly. I think it would look cool. But I'm not sure about the black allen bolt pole pieces. Does anyone have pictures of such a combination?

Cool, I've never seen a nickel/allen bolt combination before, it suddenly struck me that that could be interesting. It's cool in my head anyway :lol:

The controls and the rest of the guitar are classic , nicely 'high gloss' and will probably stay that way throughout it's life . Sounds like a job for chrome to me . 8)

Actually, i think ill agree with the Zebras, but again, not covered, but i think that would suit the guitar great since it already has alot of those colors.
