Help me decide on covers
« on: November 01, 2010, 01:28:48 PM »
Im torn between black battle worn with no polepieces visible or just plain black with no polepieces

itll be for this guitar





I've been sat here all morning trying to decide between the two so give your votes as to which you think would suit best.

Thanks

Plain Black - no holes would get my vote, would look sleeker (if that makes sense)

Out of interest, how do you find the RGD, playability wise, as I’ve been looking to pick up a relatively cheap 6 string to play with while I start the ridiculously slow crawl towards saving for a custom guitar and only have a 7 string Ibanez ATM

I absolutely love it.

It feels great the slightly extended scale is a lot more comfortable to me than a normal 25.5 and the neck is really nice and fast as you'd expect from a wizard II.

The trem is also extremely stable, i was worried about this with all the bad write ups all over the internet but its far better than most other trems ive used.

But the bad write ups must be for some reason so i guess theres  abit of inconsistency with them so i'd definitely recommend trying a few first.

Thanks for the Info, I think i'll track down as many as i can find to play, looking predominantly at the hardtail version, if only it was white, maybe i'll try the trems and see how i get on

See that was my problem i wanted the hardtail one as i love the gibralter standard on my RGA and rarely use a trem but i wanted the white one.

A tremelno or a bit of wood can solve the hardtail needs tough :)

If it was an explorer i would go with something like that but i dont want the polepieces showing on this one. No idea why i just have a feeling it wont look right

Plain black..... unless you change the trem arm for a chrome one, then pole pieces.
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

Light battle worn covers would give the guitar some mojo  :D

I'd go with the lightly-battle-worn black covers (no polepieces) I think it would give just enough mojo, besides, the plain black ones would just look like EMG's

I'll throw a new one into the ring, black covers with black slug polepieces?
