Title: To Zebra or not?
Post by: MontyW on January 01, 2011, 09:02:55 PM

Hi,

I know what pickups I want for my black ESP M-II with rosewood fingerboard... the Aftermath.

However, this is a really superficial question.... should I just go for plain black pups or zebras?  Or something else.  

I know its just esthetics, but what do you think I should go for?

Considered red/black zebras?

Red/Black or Green/Black zebras would be awesome.

yeah I never thought of red/black or green/black - probably red/black or cream/black at the moment.

You need to get them COVERED in that ESP. It would look sick as hell. I like the black covering, but a silver might look cool too. Red/Black Zebra would look great too, but it would hurt you more if you ever want to sell them.

Camo might just be the ticket though.

Good point on the resale - just checking out the black covers.

Okay satin black with black poles?????
