I'm not necessarily trying to make a Bonamassa clone per se. Just can't make up my mind which looks more "natural". I like 'em both. Already have the white. What say yee?
As drawn, I prefer the white - if it were mine and I was going black, I'd have to at least change the top two knobs to black, or have all four black, or have all four transparent/white.
Edit: Actually, looking st it a bit more, I just don't like the amber knobs on either!
I prefer the white pickguard as well! May be a matter of taste, but I think it looks better with that finish, so if it was my guitar, I'd surely go for the white one!
I like the black with black speed knob idea that Aceman mentioned. I can't help but thinking that zebra pickups would actually look better and tie in the overall look on both guitars..
Or I'd go with Zakk Bonamassa's look of EMG's and a black bullseye and black hardware.
Hmmm . . . Lots of ideas to think about. I like the idea of the chrome knobs. That way, I can use my good Bourns Model 95 pots. They have the flat metal shaft and require knobs with set screws.
