Title: HSS pup colors
Post by: MontyW on February 09, 2011, 07:15:28 PM
Hi,

I know this all sounds very superficial.... but what color pups would you put in a Black (white pick guard, although I might change it to black) and maple HSS Strat?

I've decided on a Nailbomb and Trilogy Suite set.

What do you think...?

I would go all white with a white pearl pick guard.

Though I hate the look of a black pick guard on a black strat.

Now I quite like the idea of pearl.

Pearl is quite nice on a black one. Although on some blackies turtle can be appealing too.

Black pickups on a white (or white pearl) scratchplate.  I like a bit of contrast!

Black pickups and black knobs on a white pickguard. Looks really cool. I can't remember who, but one forum member have a road worn strat like this and it looks sooooooo sexy!  :P
