Indy, I was considering some kind of chrome/nickel as well actually...




And W.O.W! at the studio! Holy cow, that is is one of the nicest guitars I've ever seen.


Phil, the binding did annoy me a little... might not look so good. Maybe black hardware, but with blue/white zebra coils (with black allen bolt polepieces) might strike a balance?

I dunno Sam, but I'm not the best person to comment, I'm such a boring old traditionalist.  :?

I quite like your existing gold h/w to be honest (don't normally like gold or black, but there are exceptions to every rule... :lol: ).

Me personally, I like the contrast of light-coloured parts on a dark LP, and vice versa.  I'd go for nickel hardware, cream pickup rings and switch ring, and blue/cream zebra pickups (but I'm not sure if the blue/cream zebra might look a bit too "bright", like purple/cream did on my LP - which is why I went with purple/black).
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds

Hmm, yeh maybe nickel would be the best way to go.


Black/Blue was another option I was considering. DEFINITELY want a Blue bobbin in there somewhere as I reckon that's gonna look fantastic.


It's so hard to envision all the changes in your head without physically seeing them. :?


Also, maybe a Bigsby... muhahahaha!  :lol:

Blue/Black would be too much I think, to me it's just too much in your face. Whereas nickel would make it stand out a little. That's my opinion. Looking at black hardware on blue just makes me end up looking at the blue altogether.
