Lord-of-the-strings Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 This friday I'm going to be ordering new pickups (DiMarzio Evolutions) from my local music store, now I have a problem. I have a burnt stained light brown guitar, some of you might remember my finished pictures, anyhow, I don't know what colour pups I should get :/ would cream be good? or should I just stick with black, note that I will probably end up putting a black pickguard on it. The thing with the cream is that brown is a neutral colour, as with cream, and too many neutral colours together looks weird. So if you were to get an actual colour, what colour would you guys pick?

GregP Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 If the colour is still bazzacly like in your thread, I say go with Black. Quote
Lord-of-the-strings Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Posted December 14, 2006 Well, it's a little darker now, so I think I'm gonna go with cream. Thanks for the help guys Quote
biliousfrog Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Bored at work so I made a mockup of what it might look like....personally I think that cream looks weird but not as bad as I expected. Hope you don't mind Lord-of-the-strings Quote
Desopolis Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 -1 to cream.. I like the black better. Quote
Xanthus Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 -1 to cream.. I like the black better. Mmmhm. +2 Nice mockups, biliousfrog. I wish i had the patience to deal with photoshop I honestly use PS for everything I can do with MSPaint. Quote
Sambo Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 I'll stick my head out. I like the cream... Its a bit.... Different.... S Quote
spazzyone Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 looking at the mockup id say cream as it breaks the duldrum of all black more astheticly pleasing Quote
Lord-of-the-strings Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Posted December 16, 2006 Well... looks like I'm going with black, seeing as it was all they had in at the moment and I'd have to wait till after christmas to order. Worse case scenario: I don't like the black, and I buy some bobbins toppers to make 'em cream. Thanks for all the help guys Quote
biliousfrog Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 LOL....so when everyone said black, you wanted cream...now they say cream, you're going for black Quote
ryanb Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 You could always do zebra black/cream ... but I vote for black too. Quote
