what finish is this?
« on: October 10, 2011, 01:42:24 AM »
I am in the process of ordering my 3 pig 90 set and debating on the finish to go with. I really like this:


What is that finish? It's awesome but im not sure how it would look in my guitar

I also really like some of the Black battle worn covers as well that I saw, particularly this:



Which do you guys think will look better in this:

I think the first finish is Distressed Camo.

I would prefer the second one for your guitar but that is up to you.

I vote that a rusty camo finish would fit best, but I am also incredibly partial to rusted and muddy-looking equipment.

The distressed carved camo would look killer in this axe.

I think it would look good with cream pickup rings and some combination of cream and/or zebra pickups.

if I was going hummers I would have considered that, but I went with 3 HSp90's they are going to be raw Nickel with black bolt poles. I chose them because they will age nice and quickly.

i went with raw nickel because 3 pickups with the distressed look is 66 more $ in the USA. The raw nickel will age nicely. I just got em today, pics up soon!

The distressed camo looks super cool, but I don't think it'll be a good match with the black pickup rings. If you get some metal pickup rings and distress those it would be killer. If stick with the black rings I think the battle worn look will suit the guitar best.
