Sorry to have to say this but that looks really bad, has that been scratched on or something?! You would think if you where paying over a £100 you would get a neater finish then that! I'm sure it sounds great, but man it looks awful!

:O :O :O

HERETIC!!!!
i wanted it that way. i could have gotten it laser etched and have crisp lines and perfect finish, but i didnt want to. i speced it, black battle worn graphic, cos IMO, it looks better

Good god, he's right!

Have you noticed that BOTH of your pickups are scratched?

Man BKP are really going down hill with their quality control.... :wink:

no..... i know but i think  for £100 you would get a more professional design and not pay extra on top! Is it wrong to say something negative about  BKP?!

I think the point is, he could've got a "better" looking design, but he chose this instead because he prefers the look..

fwiw, I dont like it either though.

To be fair, I can see where the haters are coming from, however I think that would be a killer look in person, or from a distance, and based on my nickname, designs like that are always cool.

it's horses for courses...

i wanted it that way, i like it that way, it's staying that way.
like i said, i could have gotten it laser etched, but i prefer the damage.

and yes, i know i'm nuts for paying extra for a damaged pickup cover ;) but i got 3 that way (the trilogy cant be had in damaged, otherwise i'd have one too hehehe)

If a custom guitar builder was asked to make a guitar in the shape of a toilet seat - He'd charge extra.

Would you comment in outrage about that?

As do I...

If someone made a custom order form and put Toilet Transformation as a £100 option - I would pay just for since it would be making it more custom :x
