Which color pickups look best on a boring black shredstick?

[tc]

I'm thinking either green, zebra, white or gray. Gray's a bit too subtle and green's a bit too Vai. I'm thinking maybe white will do the trick. What do you guys think?

Go nuts!



Seriously though, red on black would look pretty cool. might depend on fretboard material?

I am not big on inlays. I like them dots. But I like those inlyas... they look fun.

TC - Zebra or White would give a Classy Vintage look. Grey would look good and diff from the run of the mill.

Pearloid. SD just did a humbucker with pearloid tops and a toaster chassis wrapped around, didn't they? Or were the p rails....

I love white...that said, I've always toyed with the idea of the dark blue buckers in SOMETHING!

Honestly, they all look so sexy. Might want to buy 3 more boring black shredsticks just so I can have the four color schemes.

White:

Gray:

Zebra (these are actually black/white from what I remember, but I haven't had an SLS3 in my hands in years):

Green:

I really dig Zebra on a black shred stick. Makes it look more classy, but white would be awesome.

I also think orange would be badass!

Call me old fashioned, or conservative, or whatever, but I like the simple looks. I personally would go with white, or Zebra (actually zebra neck, reverse zebra bridge ah-la Slash). Just looks classy to me. Hell, all chrome would look pretty cool as well. Just my $0.02.

Black nickel covered.

My favorite color has always been blue, and I've had this black/blue DiMarzio Norton laying around for quite a long time, so I had to put it in my old Hamer Special on which I just had the neck stripped and oiled and refretted.
