hey im just about to order two bare knuckle pick ups and i have a dark silver/ shiny grey guitar. i have changed the tone knobs to be chrome but i was wondering whether people think i should get chrome, black, open poled, aged nickel or the camo covers for them or two different coloured ones. There's so many good looking ones i don't know what will look best :( help me pleaseeeeeeeeee

What cover looks best?

Is this a test? Or a Zen koan?

Definately plain chrome . Ordinary chrome has a 'blue' tint to it whereas nickel is yellowish in appearance and goes nicer with Brown/red/tobacco/yellow/honeyburst guitars. I know the photos of 'nickel' and 'chrome' look the same on the BKP photo page, but in ordinary lighting conditions chrome has definately a blue hue
(that rhymes !).

Someone else on another thread described plain chrome as having "the Daz" whiteness.. (based on an old brand of washing powder that used to have a blue tint in it for white shirts).

I feel that open black would 'cheapen' the look on your guitar's colour scheme and cream is right out of the window !

I hear what the other guys are saying about burnt chrome looking 'striking' - but I think you are after the 'classy' effect.

So that's one vote for plain chrome then ....

:D

Lol no, I'm not metal - but I do have nice boots :D

Actually your one was quite good, and in some guitars it woud fit in really well - but Mister C's camo wasn't my cuppa tea
