The question, of course, is which BKPs would best suit the V…

That would be the classic!!

I have the feeling something more metal may be in order though.?

Yeah, maybe more metal.  But I thought if the Mules in the Greco have gone down well, why not stay classic?  :grin:

guitar would certainly look brilliant in a classic way with those witch hat knobs in the conventional '67 triangle positions with rings and uncovered riff raffs, or delete the rings and some sort of silvery covers  :cool:

You can also go half way if not riff raff. I would imagine the Emerald should also work nicely in a V and has a load of that old school vibe while also being a modern metal favorite. As long as the V is not on the bright side of things....

Plus they are awesome with covers. ;)
BKPs in use: 10th set / RY set / Holy Diver b, Emerald n / Crawler bridge, Slowhand mid MQ neck/ Manhattan n
On the sidelines: Stockholm b / Suppermassive n, Mule n, AM set, IT mid

I was thinking rings AND covers; not a big fan of the big scratchplate, no covers look, hence having put some rings on already. But then my volume and tone pots aren't in the right place either; I moved them around to get the jack socket in a more convenient place. And the rest of the hardware's black. So god knows what it'll end up looking like.

Here's my weird knob arrangement. (!) Makes it easier to loop my cable up through my strap without there being a massive bit running between the prongs. Still think witch hats would look cool though. Raw nickel covers with that black hardware though? Yeah, why not.

RR can stand a huge amount of gain - at least as much as the Mules, and possibly more.
Have: Crawlers, BGF 50/52s, Mules, ABomb, RiffRaff
Had : Slowhands (n&m), Trilogy (b)
