By the way they don't look like they are chrome in the picture, chrome is usually shiny, it looks like a mat chrome finish, like the raw nickel humbuckers.

The picture looks quite weird in that respect - I also just noticed that the bottom of the 'bucker, inside the box looks blue...

The guitar they're going in is a strat, which is why i thought black...Black, with a black 3 ply pickguard, and chrome knobs and switchtip - should look cool.

The blue would look nice, but not "different" enough - I want something that feels like a strat, but doesn't look (or sound) like everyone else's strat :P

I love that...Hmm, maybe I should get a graphic painted on there - just need to decide something cool. Lightning strike? http://www.moonraker.com.au/techni/lightning.jpg

That's really nice...i think lightning could be cool if it's done well, coming from the top corner (under my arm as i hold it) and down across towards the bottom - maybe onto the pickguard, I dunno if that can be done

Any other suggestions?

Lightning would look killer! that graphic is alright, but the part at the bottom is not needed, only the lightning.

I agree...I'm looking at other options comets and such

EDIT - My current findings:Lightning, Comet, Meteor and Supernova

What do you lot think? One of those? Something different? Just black?

Still go for the lighting.

You do realize that even the simplest graphic can set you back 300-500 quid, right?

deg0ey · « **Reply #28 on:** July 25, 2006, 08:30:41 AM »

Aye, That I do - I think I enquired about it before when I didn't have the money, but now I think that I could afford it and I'm just deciding whether or not it would be worth it, or just look tacky. I want it to be different, but not stupid :P
