Title: Is this what parchment white will look like?
Post by: _tom_ on May 09, 2007, 01:41:15 PM

I put my Dimarzio Chopper in the bridge position of my strat yesterday (I know, blasphemy you may say, but I like the sound). Anyway, the cover seems to have aged a lot since I got it a few years ago (was originally white). Did a quick photoshop to see if I liked the look of all the pickups being this colour, and I do, I just need to know if parchment white will match my Dimarzio:

It looks like it going from the pictures on the shop, but I want to be sure!

Cheers

I reckon so, yeah, I always thought parchment was just the same as aged white for that "oops, I left it in the sun" look.

Also, how do you find the Chopper? Why did you change?

I've gotten kinda sick of the lack of power from my Strat Texas Special pickups and so have a trio of Lace Sensors winging their way to me - Red, Silver and Blue.

Having looked at the pics of parchment coils in the BKP shop, I'd say that looks pretty close. Should look cool.

Cheers for the help. I think I'll get parchment white covers for neck + middle then! Looks really good on this very quick photoshop I did earlier:

what do you think to the chopper, I am considering getting a Tone Zone S for my ash strat but I am not sure if I should just get it routed and put a proper bucker in there.

Its not bad actually.. the only thing is it seems to sound kinda scooped/weird sometimes. Might change it out for something else allready :lol: I think I'd prefer the Tone Zone S now I think about it.
