Title: Pickup Covers for this Guitar...
Post by: Crazy_Joe on September 20, 2006, 11:18:02 PM: (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Sandman666/IMGP0474.jpg)

Any suggestions??

It's annoying me that gold is one of the only pickup covers that will go well with it.

What about camo/distressed?
Also black, though i'm not sure.

Any ideas will be helpful :)

Black with double gold polepieces

Stick with gold, it looks great.

Black would look too... black, unless maybe you got gold mounting rings?

gold covers with black polepieces and some graphtech saddles would give you a very classy yet different look.

Post by: Philly Q on September 21, 2006, 02:09:56 PM: Yeah, but Tim's Explorer has a natural finish so you can see the pickups - the black pickups would "disappear" on the black Explorer. And they'd look weird next to the white pickguard (unless it was replaced with a black one, for a total Black & Gold look?)

Post by: TwilightOdyssey on September 21, 2006, 03:15:41 PM: How much are you going to be modding the guitar? Are you keeping the white scratch plate? Are you going to be adding a graphic to the body, or just keeping it black?

If you switch the hardware to chrome (or even black), matte black nickel covers with the BK logo on em would look greata against the white!

Post by: Kepu on September 21, 2006, 04:09:08 PM: I'd say stick with the golden covers
just try to find a mirror gold pickguard somewhere and it will look HOT HOT HOT :wink:
