Cold Sweats - Which guitar to put them in?

[DefaultM]

I think I'm going to put them in the maple one in light of this. Plus I think it looks better.

I think they look better on the mahogany one - but it's not my choice!  Nice guitars.  :)

I think the zebra pickups with the maple top look really good.  Wise decision!  8)

i personally would never get a pair of zebra pickups because i just dont like the look but i agree they look better with the maple top.

Being super-picky as I am, one thing that always slightly irritates me is that BKP's cream bobbins are slightly lighter in colour than most cream mounting rings.  It's a small thing, but it grates....

Philly, you touched a sore point with the cream colored rings. I have moved to black rings for some guitars just because of that.

Ah, so it's not just me!  Sorry to have touched that sore point, but I'm glad I'm not alone!  :lol:

The thing is, I really like the look of zebra (and double cream) pickups but I'm thinking I can only put them on guitars with black rings! 

I have a 2011 McCarty with PRS's new style of pickup rings, I think they're calling them "ivory" rather than "cream" and they do seem to match the BKPs a lot better.
