Does a black explorer with double white pickups look good?

[Ivan]

Hi all, sorry if this is in the wrong place but I wanted to get some opinions.
I'm going to get a pair of Cold Sweat, but I'm wondering if I should go for double white.
I knocked this up quickly......

[MDV]

I dont like it.

If you do though, how does a poll help you?

[gwEm]

go for gold and fit white speed knobs too.

[WezV]

indeed.  personal choice first!!

i quite like.  but bear in mind i play a white explorer with chrome and black hardware and i went for double white in that

[Ivan]

because I'm undecided between nickel and double white.

I just wanted to know what others think of the double white. If it's a landslide of no's, then I probably will just go for nickel covers.

I like it!  They go really well with the white scratchplate.

[discofudge]

Love it!-

I'd probably love double parchment more though, bit less zing!

I like white pickups in almost all guitars. But get white knobs and mounting rings too.

Guess it's all personal taste , but I think the white pickups  don't go with the white pickguard

Wonder what half white half black zebra (as opposed to half cream) would look like

The white pickups work well for me, but only with the black pickup rings to visually identify and separate them from the white scratchplate.

i don't like explorers.
i don't like white pickups.
so i never believed i could have liked it but strangely enough i do, and quite much!

but yes, absolutely with black pickup rings!

Yep, agree with that.  I like a contrast between pickups and mounting rings (or between pickups and scratchplate, on a Strat).

[Ivan]

interesting.
Since my choices are double white or nickel covers, I guess I could go ahead and get the double white and if i change my mind in the future just add the nickel covers.

I think black & white zebras would look really cool.

I think what it is missing is 'Black' Slugs and Screws.
