    Of those three, I prefer the all-black. Looks sleeker.

          I like 'em all, but probably lean towards the chrome. The Gold & Blue would be cool if you were from West Virginia or Navy.

            Of those choices, the black/black, but I think cream rings with black pickups would look better.

            Look at some PRS guitars with blue flame tops like that, and see how the cream makes it pop without looking conservative or gaudy.

              Black Chrome or all Chrome.

                  All black

                  (Unless the tuners are chrome - in which case, black and chrome).

                    Black hardware with solid chrome pickup covers to flash it up a bit.
                    Although gold hardware and black pickups would be a great look, with tuners to match.

                      I’m fairly certain this thread has done little to resolve this in my mind.

                      This is a loose example, I’ve got all the smaller bits and bobs in chrome but l’m about to order the bridge, tuners and pickups. I like all the looks, I’m leaning toward the chrome but even the write-in answers are good.
                      Oh no.....


                      Oh Yeah!

                        Of the ones featured, I like the black the best. If you had gold pickup rings, however, I'd probably say gold. I'm a sucker for gold.

                          Ok, I’m tempted by gold now... Gaudy as heck, but it looks cool.



                          Oh no.....

                            I think I'd did a brushed aluminum vibe more than chrome.

                              I went with gold from stock chrome hardware and black ring in my Dk2, and white pickups.

                              I like gaudy, gold to me looks like a better match to the blue in the OP's guitar.
