Which do YOU think looks best?

[Mr Ed]

(Forgive me, I r bored...)

1. Zebra at the bridge and reverse zebra at the neck...



or

2. Reverse zebra at the bridge and zebra at the neck...



Currently leaning towards a pair of Nailbums.

Option 2 (see my avatar)

I prefer my guitars to look bug eyed, rather than cross eyed  :D

[Lazy_McDoesnothing]

Option 2 as well.

I think with the black blending into the pickup rings it forces people to "see" 2 white single coils that stand out.  Single coils are traditionally up tight with the fretboard and close to the bridge so I think it's just seeing what we're used to that looks "better".

That's a very good point y'know.

I just wanted to let you know before you order, option 1 is reverse zebra, both pickups, option 2 is zebra, both pickups.  This gives you BK's colour schemes:

btw.  I picked option 1 because I like the black coil against the fingerboard.

Saw it in t'other thread, many thanks for clearing that up!

[goddamn electric]

the second one struck me as the nicer looking of the 2 on first glance

i voted option 2, but i think matte black covers would look even better

OOF! Don't confuse/arouse me even further!!  :(  :lol:

I think the zebras would be a nice touch because the red is quite a deep colour and the black flaming is quite dark also, it'd give it a little bit more light colour.

I think you should have a rethink and get one of these ...  :D







Or, if you really want to stand out from the rest of the band, you may like this one ......  :oops:

Originally thought option two, but then the post about how single coils are usually cllose to the fretboard etc made me remember something like the G Lynch guitar, and I don't like the fingerboard hugging SC so much.

But, black covered would be cool :D

[Mr Ed]

Black covered was planned for my (hopefully eventual) "blackout" Strat - black, rosewood board, black plate and hardware and black covered pickups.  8)

I agree, i think you should get this one too; just make sure it is made out of mahogany first :!:

surely that would need an ebony board

I'd agree if the whole guitar had black hardware. It would look quite similar to one of the ESP Eclipses I reckon..

That said, definitely go for zebra's with cream outside bobbins. ;)
