Pics of LPs with covered, uncovered or a combination of both HBs
« on: February 27, 2009, 07:40:17 PM »
Hello all,

As noted on other posts I'm looking at getting some BKPs for my LP copy (it's a cherry burst). I'm really undecided about either going for both covered, one covered and one uncovered, all cream, zebra or all black (or a mixture!)

Have my fellow forum members got photos of LPs with their HBs (either covered or not). I can imagine what mine will look like but want to look at some real examples. I know I could trawl thorugh all LP related gear posts but that would take me hours! It also gives an excuse to post pics of your guitars again!

Cheers all,

Ian.

Don't remember who that was. I just went through the BKP pickups page. I got to page 39 and sort of lost the will to live..

I haven't got any pics, but I like the double cream bridge, zebra neck look (like the one d1dsj posted above, only with the cream coil facing the fingerboard).
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

That is my favourite one so far Philly. So many pups, so little time.

It's not an LP of course, but it's the old Hamer Sunburst I'm thinking of:

Sadly not.  But I do have an '80 or '81 Hamer Special, which is basically the same but without binding (and, I think, a much thinner maple top).   I foolishly put a Kahler on it (it was 1985!) and changed the pickups about a million times.  It's in a bad state now, unfortunately.  :(   This is a very old picture:

i can cope with left handed strats but really struggle to look at left handed LP's - really not sure why that is

i like the glass of red wine next to the wine red one
