I like it. Also like the idea of black slugs/screws my predecessor mentioned.

Why are there no red pickups? I always thought they looked hot in Jeff Healey's guitar.

That does look quite cool.  I didn't realise he switched to humbuckers, he used to use s/coils with red covers - were the buckers still made by Evans?

When I first opened the thread I though "nah... I'd want nickel covers", but then I thought you probably wanted open coils...
I almost stopped reading, but I was bored, so I read on...
... and I find it's between white and nickel :D

I voted "Nay" - but to confirm what others say, it is very much personal choice :lol:

Why nickel if the hardware is chrome? 

 :evil:  Nickel and chrome should NOT be mixed!!!!   :evil:

Yes, I know Fender do it on vintage models.  PRS do it too, and I can't understand why - they should just get Schaller to make the PRS tuners in nickel.

I voted "Yay", but I personally would also switch the white scratchplate for a black one. I don't know why I think that, but I do.

Problem with white and white which doesn't show on the photo is there are so many shades and they are so close it could look 'wrong' as it is I don't dislike it but it may have that different whites clash problem.

Going black and white would make any clash stand out a lit less, but I think I would go with black (white surrounds) , I like white singles but not doubles
