Black or cream?

PVO_Dave · December 2016

I'm going to order up some pickups for a project maybe next week, of all the touch choices...

Black or cream P90?

This pic was before the finish started to go on, so it's a touch darker now

I think black looks better..

Alnico · December 2016

Black, no doubt.

AWESOME looking guitar Dave !

Is that a Kahler bridge?

EDIT: Didn't know i could zoom in.
It's not a Kahler but what is it? Looks great with the offset saddles but are they rollers?

So did I - then I changed my mind....

Black. Always black, but particularly on that.

Fez · December 2016

Black for sure. Nice looking beast though.

Moss · December 2016

Black 100% - I like how it offsets the maple

The bridge is a Schaller 3D-6: http://www.schaller-electronic.com/hp222322/Schaller-Bridge-3-D6.htm

Before the photoshop, I thought cream, soon as it was done I'd changed my mind to black

Great build and a great thread Dave - i'd missed that one.
Book marked.

That Neck is stunning.

Black P90 certainly looks the part, but im going to suggest that the zebra hb looks less the part. I think all black pickups would suit much better...
Cheers,

Black !

The one of the 'non-white persuasion' I think

Sassafras · December 2016

I must be strange, I prefer the cream. They age nicely too.
Not wild about the zebra pickup.

PVO_Dave · December 2016

I think it's going to be black hb too, damn it, one day I'll have a guitar that suits / needs zebras!

Corvus · December 2016

Paint half of the cream P90 cover black!

Black I think, fits better with the surround and black coil on the bucker. But id prefer either all black HB + P90 or both in cream, would sit in the lighter wood colour nice.

Voxman · December 2016

I'd lose the go faster stripes on the guitar - it makes it look like a boy racer. Then I'd have all cream p/ups to go nicely with the natural wood. If you keep the stripes, then all cream p/ups & I'd lose the Zebra. If you keep the stripes & the zebra, then black because the cream doesn't match the white section of the zebra and just too many colours.

Black with amber speed knobs

Sorry to be a dissenting voice but I'm with @Sassafras here

Decision made, pickups ordered from Bare Knuckle for a change

Make sure you set the saddles reasonably high, even if you have to shim the neck slightly to do it.

its a great bridge, but works loads better with them set high

Howdy, Stranger!
