Members metal0822 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 that was basically what it came down to for me too...black it out, or throw in some white. good luck with yours man, i love this thing. it really did change how i look at guitars, and caused me to sell all my others to look for another GOOD one (my strat). mines already got a couple battle scars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lock Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Lovely - I didn't know that that finish existed. The only thing I'd add would be covered hum-buckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V-man Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 I think that's about all the lemonade you can squeeze out the pickle one would be in to dress that up. I might have gone with chrome rings, knobs, and maybe pup covers, to keep things a little less stark. Either way, you guys are right... the options are limited. Blacking out would be cool, except the damned thing has a rosewood board, which drives me bat{censored} crazy on a black guitar. Adding zebra pups and maybe a checkerboard strap would be about as far as you could take it, but the pups may be over-investing. Oh yeah, white pg too.

Members ExiledCrow Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Yep, your choices were either to go all black or add something to balance out the chrome. I like what you did with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
