Title: Anyone got pictures of the new Tygyr covers in action?
Post by: maybeshewill on September 06, 2011, 08:29:34 AM: Hey guys, I'm looking for pictures of the new Tygyr covers in some guitars, haven't seen any actually fitted yet.

Post by: maybeshewill on September 06, 2011, 11:05:13 AM: Nice! Yeah they look incredible. Would love for some more people to get some pics up.

I'm about to order a pair of BKP Aftermath 7s for my RG7621. It's currently black, but I plan on doing a natural refinish or stripping it down and getting it done in white, just interested to see how they would look with those colours, but any picture will do.

Would Tygyrs be too much?

Well, it's a Yellow Bengal Soloist for starters. The 80s were never known for subtlety.

Can you HONESTLY say that there is any reason NOT to do it?! :lol:

That sounds like one of the few guitars they might actually suit. :P

(No offence to anyone, I'm just too set-in-my-ways to like any of the more "exotic" cover designs. And I can't see Nolly's pic at the moment! Edit: OK, they do look good on that Ibanez! :) )

Post by: maybeshewill on September 06, 2011, 02:32:42 PM: I'd get the black satin cover, but there's too many people with issues of the paint flaking off, and the Tygyr is my next favorite.

Post some more pics up guys, would love to see your guitars with the Tygyr covers on!

Post by: rebirth on September 07, 2011, 08:48:29 AM: If they reversed them so all black with steel tyger makings that would be huge win.
Title: Re: Anyone got pictures of the new Tygyr covers in action?
Post by: maybeshewill on September 07, 2011, 09:07:16 AM: Yeah that would be great, I'd still be worried about paint flaking though.

I was thinking the same. A Black Tyger finish, how cool is that...

Post by: Nolly on September 07, 2011, 11:58:55 AM: A black tyger finish would be the same as the black battleworn - if you let the BKP guys know that's what you want they could easily do a the "battlewearing" in the same pattern as the tyger finish.

Post by: DaveCarter on September 12, 2011, 10:59:46 PM: They look great! Im not sure if they would look right in a cherry sunburst Les Paul though...I'm tempted to give it a try!
Title: Re: Anyone got pictures of the new Tygyr covers in action?
Post by: maybeshewill on September 13, 2011, 11:57:20 PM: I don't know, I reckon they may look pretty kool in a Les Paul!

Post by: DaveCarter on September 14, 2011, 08:54:08 PM: Are they usually supposed to be silver/chrome in colour? Here they look to have a more yellowish/gold colour...

Post by: Nolly on September 14, 2011, 09:16:57 PM: They are raw nickel, so they take a golden/yellowish patina (as opposed to chrome's blue-ish tint)

I think they look pretty nice in a guitar with natural finish :)
