What would you choose for Pickups (cream/black zebra, black coils, or nickel cover) it you had a choice what would you choose.

I choose cream/black with a nickel cover sd CS JP bridge position

Re: What would you choose for Pickups

Depends on the guitar. For a more "traditional" guitar like a Les Paul, I like covers. For a less trad instrument (e.g., super strat), I'd choose exposed coils with the zebra/black decision based on the color of the guitar.

I say covers.

Mind you I have seen some Les Pauls with black exposed coils and they look downright mean...

Bear in mind that with covers there is a concensus that you get a slight dip in your highs. Not a big difference, but an audible one though. Some would describe it as muffled or 'honky'.

i would like covers for mine, but since you are going with a JP set you could also make your lp look like his number one slightly by exposing the coils on one humbucker and having the exposed coils be cream and black.

depends on the axe. if you look at my profile, my SG has white ones, cos it just fits a black guitar
