Title: Brushed Nickel - how does it look?
Post by: darkbluemurder on May 06, 2011, 05:39:19 PM

Hi all,

The web shop shows many cover options such as nickel, raw nickel, aged nickel and many others but not brushed nickel.

Does the Abraxas pickup pictured on the BKP website have a brushed nickel cover?

Thanks and kind regards,

Stephan

Thanks guys!

It looks very beautiful, very elegant. But I am also a fan of the burnt chrome and tygyr finishes. The latter would look awesome on an all white guitar.

Cheers Stephan

I really like the look of the brushed chrome as well, I can definetly see that in a lot of guitars. Might be my first choice for a cover.
The burnt looks nice too, but it´s very special. Almost every guitar I saw it in it seemed completly out of place to me. It has a nice 60s psychodelic feel or something and just doesn´t fit in a modern bright red metal axe...
But I have to agree on the tygyr, I can picture it nicely in an 80s style white flying V.
