Quote from Tim in latest news:
We have finally got our coloured celluloid butyrate bobbins finished and these are now available in both standard and wide spaced options. Colours available- red, blue, green, yellow and white along with our regular cream and black. We can also do zebras in any colour combination. Pics to follow soon-they look wicked!
AWESOME!
We want pics!!!
I have visions of a black Les Paul with red Mules in it ...
-
Blue bobs for my Blueburst fretking!!
COOL
-
I wonder if this news has come too late for the chap with a Voodoo Les Paul?
Looking forward to the pics.
Is "celluloid butyrate" a different material from the current bobbins?
-
No PINK! :( :(
(cue the chorus of "there's just no pleasing some people) :P
Can't wait to see em...

I was looking for this topic - they sound bloody awesome :D
Can't wait to see some photos he's gonna post.

i've got coloured swinesheads in my RG, and they look great. I assume the BKPs will look similarly great. They'd only suit certain guitars (in my opinion), but they'd look badass in the ones they do suit.

I'm a fan of pink bobbins too, and after reading the message I had to get out my Desert Yellow RG550 (with a plain old black Miracle Man set, plugged into a DIY valvecaster and then into a VOX Lead AmPlug) and make up some Lynch-esque riffs.
I'm wondering that if Tim can get these bobbins in both standard and wide, can he get the purple ones in wide as well?

IIRC its the 'authentic' material for pickup bobbins. i.e its what PAF's had!
i think all BKP's humbucker bobbins are made from it - i dont know if any other coloured bobbins are or if many other pickup makers still use it
-
.....can he get the purple ones in wide as well?
Great minds think alike!
I would love purple Holy Divers on my RG570 (Andy Timmons style) but I need F-space wide pickups. :?
-
cool, but now it adds more decisions to choosing what pickups you want.
i wonder what colour would look good with a laser blue RG550
maybe red/white zebra in the neck, blue for the single and green/yellow bridge. 8)

I started having exactly the same thoughts as soon as I saw this news, except that I have a laser blue RG670DX which is crying out for BKPs. My current thinking is that all-blue would be boring, so I'm torn between the classy option of black/blue zebra humbuckers with a black single, or the less restrained (bridge to neck) red/yellow, green, blue/purple.
Decisions, decisions... :)
-
Nice, will have to find a guitar to put some in :)
-
Sweet dude. I remember asking for this about a year ago, and they listened and stocked them up. Thank you BKP!
Are these available for 7 and 8 strings as well?
-
Pics or it never existed :lol:
-
We will ask our supplier if he can get any different coloured bobbins. In about a month our bobbin tool will be finished, so we can offer different ones then!
As you can see this has been on the cards for quite a while 8)

There's a pic in Tim's post :)
-
ahhhh he has added one!

i want some clear ones, or maybe translucent ... maybe add some glitter to the mix :)
-
i want glow in the dark ones. and ones that flash. in different colours! to the beat of the music!!! now i'm getting excited :)
actually, i agree with Dave, would like to see pink ones. if Hunter's picture is right, the yellow ones look particularly nice.

Pink, Green and Yellow ---- Then Vai / Paul Gilbert fans / Jem / RG owners could FINALLY have a choice instead of Dimarzios :(
Oh... how I dream of Pink Holy Divers on my RG570 :(

I was about to add the exact same comment. They look the business. I want some and some copper coloured hardware. Would look awesome.
