Would This Hardware Be Worth It? And What Finish For A V With Gold Har

[Coverdale]

I found a guy selling this, as new:

Gotoh Tune-o-matic Bridge with Studs/Bushings Gold

Gotoh Keystone-style Machines Gold

Gotoh Aluminum 'Stop' Tailpiece Gold

All for 75€

Would it be worth it? Or should I spend a little more on Schaller hardware (around 100€)

And what color/finish would you sugest for a Flying V with gold hardware?

Here's the guitar:

Thanks

black with white pickguard.

EDIT: yes, gotoh is good.

Gotoh is just as good as schaller, and I say red with gold hardware.

I agree with black on gold or even a cream/offwhite would look good alpine white would probably look weird with the pick guard but it could look cool.

[tubab0y]

i wholly disagree!

+1 for the red with gold hardware. To go a little further I would go with a silver metallic base and a red candy to give it that nice deep bright red.

That may be interesting...do you have any example pics of that?

If you go to Warmoth's webite and go under the paint header, you can pick through the different paint styles. You can get a good idea of the difference between metallic, solid, transparent and candy. As you'll see the candy red has a deeper richer look than the others. If you look at the red version of a Jackson Phil Collen model, it is tranparent red with gold hardware, but gives a good idea of the look of red with gold. You can also check out the custom shop generator link below from Jackson to get an idea of how some colors will look together. You might not get an exact color you're looking for, but you'll get good ideas.
