First up, wow, I'm liking this idea of being the first owner of an AM / Worn and engraved set  :D

Also, I'm thinking just now, what the hell, I may as well get the cold sweat aswell. Gotta speculate to accumulate, even with pickups  8) Not like this is exactly much of a risk either; these are Bare Knuckles we're talking about here...

I actually quite like the double allen bolt look, even having not seen it 'in the flesh' - with an engraving between the two rows, it won't look too cramped or anything, will it?

Cheers, Mark.

Tony meant getting them without any allen bolts at all in the covers, and getting those completely plain black covers battleworn and engraved. The dual-row covers look fine to me, and really they look the same IRL as they do in pictures. It shouldn't be too cramped with the engraving; you could even just get the bridge engraved if you wanted to take it down a notch or two. Otherwise if the engraving is something you won't move on, Tony's idea would be pretty cool too.

Yeah, I'm probably going for the Black / War Torn / Engraved / Dual allen bolts in the Aftermath in the end - Though thanks for all the sugggestions - From what I've posted, it looks as if I've just stuck with the initial idea the whole way through, but trust me, there was a LOT of deliberation  :P

Also I might do like you said Lemur, and only engrave one pickup - perhaps the Cold Sweat, assuming I get it, since that only has the one row of screws if I remember rightly.

Well, I'm checking a few final parts as regarding installations and that, but I'll probably order as soon as I can, provided I can scr@pe the funds together  :)

Thanks for all the help, and sorry to have kept the thread alive like a zombie for so long,

Mark
