Which looks better?

[Holy-diver]

Cream rings or black rings?

 

[itsme]

Because of the tuners, I prefer the creme.

 

[VonBonfire]

Creme, this isn't even a question.

SWEET looking axe!

 

[klugster]

Creme for sure!

 

[TheGreatGreen]

99% of the time I'd say creme...

But with chrome pickups in that guitar, I think this marks the first time I'd say the black rings look better.

 

[griff10672]

I like the black on that Axe ...... sweet guitar !!

Cream doesn't suck though ..... you'd be good either way

 

[Rackman]

Cream to match the binding and tuners.

 

[ZEEGLER]

Cream

 

[GearGasms]

Creamage

 

[Findthetone1]

Flip a coin. I don't think it looks bad either way. I will say 2 covered pickups look better to me.

 

[Texsunburst59]

With the chrome covered pickups, bridge, tailpiece, AND black knobs, black pickup covers all the way.

Plus, it looks like you mean business with the black pickup covers.

Just my opinion.

 

[BeZo]

The real answer is to find nickel rings.

This was mine that I did automotive pinstripe to simulate binding. I prefer the cream.

 

[Metalhex]

Gotta say cream

Wicked low action by the looks of it. I approve.

Yeah, I do all my own setups and lutherie so all my axes play great.

 

[Music&Chaos]

Yeah, I do all my own setups and lutherie so all my axes play great.

I do all of my own stuff as well and am surprised at how low I always end up dropping the action down.

 

[Findthetone1]

I don't think I could play action that low anymore. For some reason, I seem to be going a little higher these days. Jesus, I sound like I should be wearing tan pants.

 

[VonBonfire]

The real answer is to find gold rings.

This would be the only other acceptable answer besides cream/ivory.

Black, then change the tuners to match the rest of the hardware.
