Title: Covers for my LTD H-1001
Post by: Olivier on April 28, 2011, 11:25:09 PM
Hello there!
Ive been searching and have seen that theres alot of these "stylist" threads..And here is another one, this time you're going to choose covers on my LTD H-1001. I'm getting an aftermath for the bridge, and a cold sweat in the neck.

Please fellow BKP's, help my guitar getting even sexier!

have you seen the new Tygyr finish?

that looks prettty awesome

I personally however would go for the same look that you already have

black no visible polepiece cover.

nice and clean visually

Yeah ive seen it, I did even try photoshopping into that pic lol. But it seemed overkill, dunno.

I dont want to stick with black, if I got BKP's I want to show it to the world  :)

I have used burnt chrome against solid black in the past with excellent results.

I'm currently using it on a black flame maple RGA and it looks great.

Battleworn Black, would make it really violent.  :)

The battleworn black is also cool...
But then I saw this: (http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=21143.0;attach=8256;image)
A user called "dheim" linked this, so I thank him for the pic.

That would look cool with the binding

Burnt Chrome if you want to make a powerful visual statement and Black Battleworn if you want something a touch more subtle.

Maybe you think im picky now.. But I don't really like the look of the burnt chrome

Not burnt chrome in this guitar.

When you order, can you write what kind of finnish you want?
Becuase I think the battleworn camo that Nolly has in one of his blackmachines would fit perfectly.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I can't stand the camo finish that Dheim sent you myself but I daresay plenty people love them. Even though I personally love the burnt chrome finish, I changed it on my pickup to a black battleworn and I think that finish would also look cool on yours as the black will work with the guitar but the silver from the battle scarring will work well with the binding.

You're not too picky, I like the look of burnt chrome covers but they don't suit many guitars and they never match the rest of the hardware.  I think they'd look OK on your guitar, though, if the colours matched the binding.

I'm old and traditional so my opinion's pretty irrelevant really, but for what it's worth I like those dark camo covers in dheims's picture better than black battleworn.

What colour's your hardware?  Some kind of "black nickel" or "cosmo black"?  It would be nice if you could get covers to match that.

i find that the burnt chrome matches perfectly well with cosmo black hardware in my RGA.

however if the OP doesnt like the look then thats completely out.

He also seems pretty set on the camo with slight battle scars

The hardware is more like the cosmo black.
I thought more about the camo battleworn, becuase my pearl decoration in the neck/body is more of a brown/beige type, see pic:
