going to have to say no to the covers and rings option i'm afraid - i don't think it works with the '67 V look.

thanks for all the ideas though - i'm still not certain here.

I voted for the open look, but the point is: A5 mule and SM? they sounded awesome when I played them

went for the white open coils in the end.

the main reason was i fancied something different, i agree with everyone it looks a bit better with the covers on. the open white looks very early 80s modified - as fernando said in his post.

i took out the jap enclosed switch as well and replaced it with a nice switchcraft item. i've also lowered the stop tail right to the body - nice improvement in sustain! i'll wait to see if i get more string breakages

thanks man!

thats about 1/4 of the Vs.. not sure how many I have now, but I think its 14.

in particular the AV Mule in the bridge of the Greco sounds spot on amazing.

changed things around *again*.

the t-tops are in the greco, and the a5/4 mules are in the faded.

greco now looks like:

i've put the neck pickup in upside down deliberately. thought i'd experiment a bit. its definitely brightened things up a little. not that much though
