Title: You are now all my Stylists (Cover dilemma)
Post by: Loomer on January 16, 2011, 10:22:19 PM

G'evenin' all.

I've settled on the C-pig for my main squeeze, but there is one thing:

All the options for covers are so darned cool, and I am having serious trouble deciding what I want stylistically.

The guitar is an old, fairly beat-up Ibanez S7420, and it looks like this:

Also, I have a BC Rich Gunslinger which is just SOOO PRETTYYYYYYY and will probably need a matched set of pickups sometime in the future:

In your eternal wisdom as fashion experts, what would fit these two geetars best?

Honestly, I don't think camo would look good in niether guitar. I'd personally stick with black covers for the Ibanez and of course burnt chrome covers for the Bc Rich!  :D

I would go for solid black no pole piece covers for the ibanez like so

and burnt chrome for the BC rich i think it would compliment the finish perfectly

Does anyone know how the "no poles or screws" affects the tone? I'm seriously considering getting plain chrome covers with that option for my next set.

I have this on my aftermath but dont have a reference.

I have however had 3 different nailbombs

1 uncovered
1 covered with poles visible
1 covered with no poles visible

they all sounded pretty much the same
