what do you think, black or gold covers?

[littleredguitars2]

this is my gibson les paul classic. i recently changed some of the hardware to make it look more like a LP custom. and i'll be fitting it with some rebel yells soon. just curious. do you think it would look better with gold covered pickups to make it looks more traditional, or black ones to accent some of the other hardware? i was also thinking maybe Black covers with gold screws. i think that would be neat to accent both the black and gold on my guitar.

and just for the hell of it, this is what it looked like before.

I like it!

I vote black with gold poles.

[Mr. Air]

Black with gold poles or all out gold for me.

[Telerocker]

Gold hardware is not really my cup of tea. Personally I would brush of the gold layers and go for nickel covers or zebra's.
But I assume you want to keep the gold parts. In that case I concur with the others: black with gold polepieces.

i didnt mind the nickel hardware but i REALLY dont like nickel pickup covers.

you need to think about sound more than how it looks,

the gold covered pickups would look really good I think, but black with gold screws would also look good, the sound would be very different though on both. I'd go for the covered p/ups because I prefer the slightly mellower sound.

If you're sure you want covers, I think black with gold screws but if it was me, I'd get zebras.

How about Gold Battleworn?

When I said black I meant black covered. Not uncovered with black

I never Liked zebra personally.

I get it now, in that case, undoubtedly gold

This looks cool

[littleredguitars2]

This looks cool

yeah , mine would only have one row of poles obvious but i think it would look pretty cool. with that black/gold combo

[Slartibartfarst42]

You could always ask for twin rows of screws or bolts.

I think it would be cool if you changed the knobs from black speed to gold speed, and had gold pickups. It would give it that Les Paul Supreme look, minus the flamed maple.
