Share your thoughts on this - what would you choose (aesthetics)?

An open set with black bobbins (rather than zebras) could also look good.

Otherwise the black covers with gold screws like littleredguitars2 got

yeah the black with gold screws does look very awesome on my lp!

[Dave Sloven]

I would go with zebras, but reverse color scheme of what you have now as I prefer the white coul to be closest to the bridge and closest to the neck. Agent Orange's tip about black anodized screws for the covers sounds really good as well.

I only meant for the pickup rings.

I was thinking gold pole pieces if going for black covers.  Or maybe gold pole pieces with black bobbins?

I meant the mounting rings not the covers  :oops:

Alex, I wouldn`t recommend covers for passive BKPs in EMG style like Toe-Knee presented.
There`s lack of posibility for polepieces adjustments.

[Arthurus]

Man, Gold Tygyr would look killer !

[Lucas]

open cream would look great

in my opinion that would give more 'vintage' look, but still good idea

[38thBeatle]

I normally prefer covers on HBs but in this instance, I would say Zebra.

[Alex]

I'm not really considering gold covers or gold screws.

It seems zebra is the most popular option here really. I'm surprised there's no love for black battleworn covers, though. What would a black Tygyr finish look like?

Sticking with the conservative option..... zebra.  Maybe with cream mounting rings too, although they might clash with the "yellow" binding.

Anything but Battleworn or Tygyr.  Sorry BKP, but I hate those finishes.

This photo of burnt chrome covers on Rebel Yells in a black Eclipse with gold hardware might be of interest:

I am a big fan of the burnt chrome look. But on black ... but hey, I have them in a honey sunburst axe ...

Cheers Stephan

Actually they don`t look too bad on black. I`ve seen them somewhere on web put in into white axe and it was much worse.
Would you upload some photos of your guitar, I`m concerned how they present in honey sunburst,

Having made a similar aesthetic choice recently, I personally would go for black open coils bridge and zebra neck!   8)


However, it was a close call between that and aged gold that was previously in there:

Gold covered!

You know what to choose.
