That's actually very cool! Good call on the matching purple knobs and tip.

I'd keep the black rings as it matches the hardware and adds a bit of contrast.

Any idea where the purple knobs come from?

DiMarzio do them, I think you can get some from All-Parts too.

Very nice but I'd defiantly keep the black rings.

Yeah I will lay one of the green ones on there when i get it to see how it looks, but I think I am going to agree as far as leaving the black rings to match the bridge. I may leave the black switch tip as well to match the rings, but will definately try a purple switch tip on it. As for the knobs I don't really like them so I got purple Strat style ones instead, but the speed knobs may grow on me once I have it in my hands. One thing is for sure..... The purple pigs look awesome with the green.

I would definitely go for something else than speed knobs. Strat or regular LP knobs would be better IMO.

Well I should have the green and purple beast on Saturday, but here is a teaser pic. I will be swapping the speed knobs for purple strat type and adding a purple switch tip. Maybe swapping the pickup rings out as well as it comes with green ones and I may order purple rings as well, but here is a general idea :)

oh that guitar is just plain sweet. i'm not a fan of shred-tastic guitars like that usually but that colour scheme is brilliant.

Well bad news. The guitar was damaged in shipping. It got returned on Tuesday and I am getting a different guitar, the Caparison I was originally supposed to get. Really gutted me too, as it looked awesome and sounded even better.
