I'd get both of them black. So you could get your bridge and neck back at the same time- More rewarding! Or something like that..

I think that looks really... odd... I'd sooner have them all in gold.

Get another burnt chrome with gold screws for the neck, and put gold screws in the bridge. That way you don't need big modifications to your miracle man and it would still fit well with the hardware. See Steve Stevens' flame painted les paul for reference.

i used to be keen on having matched everything look-wise. but once with one of my less played Vs, i forgot to order some piece of hardware or other... anyway, after some time i was lazy to change it, and now i'm used to the mismatch i quite like it :)

in your case, i think either choice is going to look quite cool

Hey Peeps, this is my first post, although I`ve been reading with interest for a while!

Here is a pic of my Dean (tuned to Drop C and even A for wierd stuff), for which I`ve just ordered some Black covered Nailbombs(bridge will be ceramic as well thanks to advice from Tim) At the moment it has stock pups that are rather muddy in the lows, and apparently based on some SD`s although I`m not sure which ones.


This thing weighs a tonne, but with the BK Nailbombs I think it`ll be a force to be reckoned with!

Perhaps but the connection was quite tenuous from what I could tell...
Come to think of it I'm none too sure as to where it would go bar making a new thread in the pickups section for your guitar, provided you provided, by taking the data provided by your camera after being provided with your pickups, pictures of your guitar after installation of said pickups.

'Provided' four times in one sentence; I ROCK :band5:
