avengers63 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm still designing my next build and I need some opinions and, if possible, visual examples. The body is going to be painted black with an 1/8" bloodwood cap. It will have white binding to match the white pickups it'll be getting. The question is about hardware. Do y'all think I should use gold or chrome? It's contrast/conflict with the white that I'm questioning. Gold on bloodwood is REALLY snazzy, but the white might dork it up. FWIW: These are the pups in question. They're taken off of an Airline repro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 The white binding looks good with bloodwood. But white binding and white pickups don't look good with gold in my opinion. I would go with chrome if you are going to stick with the white. Plus, I have never been big with gold on black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnut Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Chrome ftw. IMO gold matches warm colors best and while white is color neutral, i think of it as a cool color, thus, chrome wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae3 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Well white and gold is my favourite combo, but that's white paint with gold hardware. Very sweet for playing on cliffs with miles of Marshall's behined you For this, I reckon chrome, or white hardware.... If you can get it, don't know of anywhere you can though.
