what covers for nailbomb+irish tour set to go in my mates washburn kc superstrat? its sparkly white in natural light but mostly looks slightly yellow lol :? :lol: .... its got black hardware- the trem n all...

we were thinking camo or maaaybe burnt chrome but we werent sure how well the chrome would sit with a black trem....

what do we think?

theres pics in another thread on here somewhere- ill post the link when i find it.

I hate to state the obvious, but what's wrong with black?

"Hmm. I have a black and white guitar. I wonder what colours would go with it?" :P Black!!!

ooo parkers are cool- how do you find the p38?

lol! yer funny searcher, yer funny! i did mention that but my mate just disregarded it lol...

i was thinking that 'emg' style covers would go well... just plain black kinda covers.... not shiny in the least. gonna try n convince him.

but what other options would work well?

black, zebra..sort of eighties look....still think burnt or camo....a bit different looking................parker was a find....bitch to set up...once done a very faithful guitar(cheap second hand)............although changed mind on sound has had s/d, noisless and now bkps

sambo · « **Reply #7 on:** March 22, 2006, 10:03:19 PM »

oooooh zebras! i hate them but this is one guitar that they might actually look good in!!!!

i love of the look of parkers, especially their take on a telecaster, thinking of trying one.... how much do p38's retail for?

back to pups, yer something different is whats needed, either that... OR go simple and understated yet awesome with plain black.... how 'different' can you get with cases without them looking stupid??

just under 400 now.....but would search for a second hand one......give a good set up and put bkp's on it..quite a good solid guitar, fast neck(although need a better set up than stock) but the let down was pickups(unless you buy the model that costs a grand....liked them at first...but now have perfect combo on them(nailbomb and 2 irish/t).....but wouldn't buy new to take to pieces..then again wouldn't buy new again because would always want bkps on my guitars now.....put 2 crawlers on my gib sg

Yeah agree can't go too different...but short of paint job...covers give the guitar you have individuality

yer covers can make a huge difference....

i dont think ill ever buy a new guitar again lol.... my gibbo is second hand but it was such good condition i didnt even realise when it was in the shop lol

mine was a present a long time ago... but had a few problems....mainly very noisy cr@p pickups...but love it now

sambo · « **Reply #11 on:** March 22, 2006, 10:26:45 PM »

cool... defiantely gonna try one when i can

sgmypod · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2006, 10:30:43 PM »

say usuall gripe is poor setup and pickups...but if cheap second hand...buy one..and put bkp's on*L*

sambo · « **Reply #13 on:** March 22, 2006, 10:36:11 PM »
