Title: Help with choosing pickup cover for my Quilted Eclipse
Post by: RosettaStoned on January 20, 2014, 02:53:39 PM
Hi. I am not good with photoshops or someting like that at all. My neckpup is black bill lawrence and my Bridge is going to be MM. But im a little stuck with coveroptions. I know its a personall taste, but i really like tp know what ur guys are thinking.(ive only seen them BKP in black).  This is my axe http://www.espguitars.com/products/8618-eclipse-ii-qm-acsb (http://www.espguitars.com/products/8618-eclipse-ii-qm-acsb)

Ive thougth about :
 (1) Burnt Chrome MM. Not sure if this would fit the quilted top, or if it would look wierd.
 (2) Tyger MM. I got chrome hardware, and think it looks cool
 (3) Distressed Black MM. since my neck is black, probably this would be a good match. Like this:https://www.google.no/search?q=distressed+bareknuckle&espv=210&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=miLdUqXKDNCKyQPTvIGgCg&ved=0CCwQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=666#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=aT0XmE2NcjtAEM%253A%3BaITmUTJyn1wi-M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi32.photobucket.com%252Falbums%252Fd29%252Fyellowv%252Fbkp17_blackdistressed.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.sevenstring.org%252Fforum%252Fpickups-electronics-general-tech%252F78701-post-your-bare-knuckle-pics-here.html%3B667%3B535

So is the neck a black open coil or a black covered pickup?

If a black open coil, I would be tempted to go the reverse zebra route to make it stand out a bit, while still fiting in.

If the neck has a black cover, black battleworn maybe.

The Lawrence L-500 is open coil.

I'd go black or black battleworn.

Cheers Stephan
