Which Hardware For This Guitar?

[wickenspoet]

I've been thinking about putting new hardware on this guitar. The volume and tone knobs should match the bridge and tuners, right?

Would this guitar look cool with Gold hardware?

Between keeping it all black, or changing it to either chrome or gold hardware... what would you choose for this guy?

I'd stick with black.

For that guitar, I like Black too.

I wouldn't change it from black for this guitar. If I owned this guitar and felt like changing up the aesthetics, I would put in a pair of zebra pickups to make it look like a custom shop sls or the sls3. Here is a custom sls with chrome hardware if you want to see what it looks like.

Black hardware looks cool and if it was like that I'd prolly keep it.

However, if I were given the choice from the start or planned to change the current hardware anyway then I'd go for chrome BUT I'd also add EVH-style zebra pickups (the cream bobbin at the top for both the neck and bridge pickup, just use bobbin-toppers if you're happy with the current pickups or can find them cheaper in black) and thin chrome pickup rings OVER the current black ones like so:

Personally, I prefer black hardware on black guitars.

I'm a BIG sucker for Gold H/W.

When it starts to fade, it just looks 'sexier' to me than either black or silver.
