This is a custom model I'm making and I think that it is flawless. Any opinions on this guitar?

LOL

It wouldn't look as sexy with barekuckles :(

Oh i beg to differ, some battle worn black covers would look the tits in there

you really think so?? mmm.. I'm not to shure about that dude... are barekuckle pickups worlds better than an EMG pickup???

I don't buy barekuckles because nothing looks as sexy as $%&#ing black covered emgs.

maybe if I found covers that were totally black like the EMGs

erm.... $%&# yeh, try some out next to some EMGs, the harmonics behind each and every note is just incredible, it's hard to describe this time of day (i'm not much of a morning person)

but, TRY SOME OUT, trust me

mmm...I'll try the battle worn ones and see if they look as good... I think they will sound much better but I'm such an ass in the "sexy guitar" side :oops:

then what about just the black BKPs?? they're essentially the same as the EMG covers, except they aren't plastic, and they don't have the weird routing of the EMGs, and they don't have the cr@ppy EMG electronics underneath them

octavio_amzer · « **Reply #8 on:** October 01, 2006, 10:00:30 AM »

can they do one that doesn't have screws on it?? like an Iommi style one? just plain black would be nice

CaffeineJunkie · « **Reply #9 on:** October 01, 2006, 10:01:25 AM »

you'd have to ask Tim about that, i'm not much of a plain-black person myself, sorry :D

The trem ruins another perfectly good guitar...TOM - String thru would be MUCH better :lol:

I don't buy barekuckles because nothing looks as sexy as #$%!& black covered emgs.

I'm firmly with CJ on this one (which is an unusual occurance lol) - BKPs are about a gajillion times better than EMGs tone wise in that they actually have tone :drink:

In the sexy department, maybe we have different opinions but try these:

They're much less tacky and much more original than the plastic EMG covers :drink:

I use the floyd so... it is staying there =P

which style would you choose in this guitar?

I like the battle worn one... but I want something "uniform" and "elegant" if you know what mean...

the warpigs look very good but too many holes x_X

I gues the totally black covered ones with allen screws would look nice... but I'm not shure...

CaffeineJunkie · « **Reply #13 on:** October 01, 2006, 10:28:59 AM »

personally i'd just go with the plain black-with-screws option, it looks amazing

deg0ey · « **Reply #14 on:** October 01, 2006, 10:30:29 AM »

+1 - and what other guitarists do you know in your local area with black covers that aren't plastic? I'd go with not many :P
