Title: Cream/Black Zebra
Post by: darcym on October 15, 2009, 03:25:20 PM

guys,

I'm looking to buy a set of s-s-h bare knuckles.

I've noted your colour codes that you supply zebra, I'm wondering can you do the Zebra with cream and black pickups,  rarther than white and black, as I'd like Cream-Cream-Zebra(cream/black) for my selection ?

thanks,

Matt

Zebra's are cream/black unless you specify otherwise.  The White/Black is a special order.  One thing to watch out for is which way you want the coils - I like the screw coil to be black and the stud coil cream (which is the old Gibson way).  Because of other conventions these are known as Reverse-Zebra.  I sounds like this is what you want.

They're kind of cream normally:

Just checked. They're slightly lighter then this, but still definitely a shade of cream. They are not plain white.

My photo didn't really display that well.

Check out this link, you can clearly see the difference between the cream and white bobbins and the zebras are most definitely cream.

I've noticed that Bare Knuckle's cream bobbins are paler than some other manufacturers' - in pics they often look a bit lighter than the cream mounting rings.

But they are definitely cream.

thanks, looks like it was a bad photo making them look white. They look cream enough for me.
