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
=]

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.








Hey, yeah I grabbed those pics from your FS thread at sevenstring.org, I really dig your guitar man, it looks amazing. I'm probably going with your suggestion of burnt chrome covers, but I'm still open for ideas though!

Surely?



Those look amazing, definitely something else to consider, but I really dig the covered look.

I think you're right on in what you want for either guitar. I was thinking to myself as I read your post, "if he gets MMs in one he should probably get a PK/CS in the other," and hearing that you tune to drop-c completely 100% solidifies that. Go for it!

IMO; burnt-chrome for the custom, camo or distressed for the RGA.

Hey man, thanks a lot! I'm probably going with that. I was wondering though, do you think I should need routing for the pickups to fit?

No routing required. However keep in mind the colors of the wires are different vs american pickups. Tim includes some literature that explains what lead is what...at least with 4 conductor wiring
