    The one on the left. It's got Fishman KSE's right now, but I want to get Classics for it. Not sure if I should go for black open coils or zebra open coils. I kinda like the whole cream/black plastic scheme it's going on. Opinions?

    Thanks!

    Black would be better to my eye.

      Is there any other color than black for pickups?

          Hmmmm... looks like a good idea to try. I wish I could get both to see which ones looked better, LOL.

              I vote black here. Don't look like everyone else.

                My favourite combo is black on the bridge and zebra on the neck!

                  arent black pups the most popular?

                    Nah, I'd say covered or zebra are more popular on those guitars.

                      Yeah, a Hamer guy would say that.

                        That would be interesting, but I don't think they sel the Open Core Fishmans sepparately?

                          Looks like black is wining!

                          BTW, don't know if you can tell from the poor quality pic with the filter, but the Epi would actually look prettier than the Gibson (by a margin) if it weren't for the big paddle headstock and the blunt lower horn, LOL.

                            black on that guitar just isnt appealing to me

                            maybe with new rings

                            double cream would rock in that

                              Yeah, you got me…but not completly. Hamer used reverse zebra in the neck with dbl cream or black.

                              More that way:
