who cares what it looks like? If you love it rock it!I bought this guitar because it fits my spec and was really cheap in mint condition, i'm a lefty so i really can't be picky about color, but the black on black just looks so bland.
any suggestions to cheer it up? i was thinking i could put white pickups in it instead and put these pickups in my other natural finish mahogany charvel which i was gonna put a JB trembucker in anyway.
maybe you guys have some other cool ideas? i had thought about having the paint stripped professionally but that would probably be really costy...

Then pay for a custom paint job. Pay the money to make it how you want. There are not many cheap answers, if you desire qualityI care how it looks
i could, but after looking at the mockups with different pickups and knobs i think it'll look fineThen pay for a custom paint job. Pay the money to make it how you want. There are not many cheap answers, if you desire quality
I like the bottom pic, the cream zebras would work better than white imo. And matching cream knobs is classy. Good mock up.I've made some mockups, i think white + amber knobs or zebra + amber knobs looks pretty tight, white+white looks good too but a bit too modern for my taste.
unfortunately no double cream available with SD pickups, bummer

Yep, gold hardware on black is terrific.Looks cool as is, but (as suggested above), you could bling with some gold hardware. Would make it look a bit like the Steve Stevens Washburn sig I fancied in my youth...!
I agree. It is amazing how just a little splash of contrasting color transforms the look. Cream strap to match. (Edit) Or, maybe, cream and black strap.I like the bottom pic, the cream zebras would work better than white imo. And matching cream knobs is classy. Good mock up.
thank you larry dimarzio for patenting double cream, i want SD JB/jazz in cream!I would change the pickups to ones with white or cream bobbins and add matching knobs.
I feel your pain.i'm a lefty, it's impossible to find the specs i want (floyd, S style body, no pointy headstock, 12-16 compound radius with 43mm nut, C shape neck) in a finish i like without going custom.
on top of that i found this one for half the retail price in mint condition!
Somehow, the zebra looks better. JMO.thank you larry dimarzio for patenting double cream, i want SD JB/jazz in cream!![]()
it's allright, i got a great deal on this guitar, and i think having a lack of choice has helped me prevent impulse buying guitars lolI feel your pain.
haven't made a mock up with full cream (cause i can't buy them anyway), but the zebra with amber knobs looks pretty classy indeedSomehow, the zebra looks better. JMO.
