Title: What covers for this guitar?

My guitar looks like this (i $%&#ed up the tone controls but they are not important!). I do not want gold covers again.

I tried to emulate some other covers but they turned out pretty cr@p, but oh well.

Black covers:

LOL Battle Worn (i think it would look a bti better than this!):

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Sandman666/guitar32.jpg)

And finally if those don't work then Aged Gold perhaps (it doesn't look anything like aged gold though):

I also thought about maybe a camo/disressed one.

Now you can laugh at my poor paint skills lol!

Why not black open coils?

I think distressed would look best on that, or aged gold.

Yeah Aged Gold looks pretty darn good, i don't think the black ones go that well with it, well not in those pictures anyway.

hmmm i think pickups with covers always look better when they match the hardware... i.e... silver hardware = silver covers...

so id go gold covers in your case....

Yeah the black doesn't go too well with the gold, and also when the black is damaged the damged parts are silver making it clash even more.
