What color pickups for white guitar.

[blindedbysilence]

Gonna pull the EMG's and go with TB-5 Custom bridge and SH-PG1N in my Schecter. Hopefully I'll like the combo, and if not I'll try til I get it right. Seeing as how the guitar is white would it look better with black, white, or zebra pickups? I originally thought black, but after looking around I kinda like the look of all three.

The gold hardware thing sounds interesting too.

Gold would look pretty sweet!

I always thought zebra looked good in white guitars.

Either black with black rings or white with chrome. I'm a black pickup kinda fella though.

Chrome covers. Out of those options, I'd go black, though. Maybe zebra. White would suit it well with black rings, I've just never really been a fan of white pickups.

Black/White reverse zebra. That's what I had on my white fake LP. I bet there are pics of it somewhere around here...

EDIT: Here it is. Woulda been cooler with chrome hardware.

Does Duncan make the Zebras in black/white or are they more of a black/cream?

They do both. The ones in that pic I posted were a Custom and Distortion.

How does the Distortion pair with the Custom?

Re: What color pickups for white guitar.

It overpowers it a bit, but it sounds SO good in the neck position -- way better, imo, than it gets credit for -- that it's worth it.

That guitar was a punk and metal MONSTER. Wish I had never sold it.
