I picked 1 but if it was mine would swap out the white knobs for black ones and put in black open coils

The covers look the best, the rings look naff and the open coil would be better if they were black.
So many pickups, so little time

I like the covers on this one, but I think you should revert to more conventional Gibson-style knobs.

Don't like the cream rings, but you should go for black rings on the Faded.

I would have gone for open and rings, but after looking at the pictures open looks best.

thanks for the responses so far..

well, I agree the rings look naff. was worth trying it though.

the guitar is laying around with double creme open coils at the moment - it looks quite nice. i will probably put the covers back on though, but i'll ponder a few more days.

I hadn't noticed the strat knobs! Yeah, put them back on a strat - the fantastic look of strat knobs is spoiled when you put them on a non-strat :lol:

Covered, black rings.



I have to admit, I do like that option.
