pickup and cover suggestions for an ibanez j custom and an ibanez rga

[Philly Q]

How do you guys think a pair of black covers would look in the J custom?

Because the pickup routs have rounded corners, I don't think covers would fit - they're much "squarer".  It would be a shame to have to modify that nice purple top.

Yeah, that would totally suck, does anyone know the measurements of the pickups with covers? I'll measure the space of the cavity to see if they fit.

I think no covers for the J custom would look best.

I really don't know. I love how it looks currently without covers. But I think It could look better with covers. I saw this pics at sevenstring.org and I fell in love with the covered look. This guitar has the same shape as mine, I just need a color for the covers that looks good in purple.

Burnt Chrome? Or is it that this wine is really good....!!If you like that cover go for it!

[ratspeak]

You know, camo looks good in literally anything. It'd be.... adventurous, I think, in a purple guitar but it could work if that's the look you dig.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that!

I think it looks awful in absolutey everything.

Camo itself is just wrong

[Philly Q]

I think camo can look good in things like Blackmachines and some of these Ibanez guitars.  But it wouldn't suit anything "traditionally styled", and I'm afraid I'd have to say the same about burnt chrome too.

I like the look of the covers themselves, they're great, but I wouldn't put them in any of my guitars. 

I know it's boring, but I like the covers to match the rest of the hardware, so it's nickel, chrome or (theoretically) gold all the way for me.

I do understand where you are coming from.

I wouldnt normally go with burnt chrome but i got the mm years ago and i just saw it and thought ooh cool

and the MQ had to match the MM but i find it goes quite well with the cosmic black hardware on the ibanez .

If only bkp did black chrome

I do quite like the burnt chrome on your Ibanez, but again it's a "modern" guitar.  :D

The first time I saw burnt chrome I thought "I want those!", but then I realised they wouldn't suit any of my guitars.  Now if I could get a set of burnt chrome hardware, it would be another matter!  :lol:

I asked about it at the time - it involves some kind of heating process (I think) which works fine on a thin cover but isn't really practical on a heavy piece of hardware.  Unfortunately.   :(

Funnily enough I actually own this guitar pictured.
I would go with burnt chrome in the JC, as i suggested to you on SS.org
