I cant figure out whether I like it or not!!

I don't know, it looks strange with black hardware, IMO.

I prefer the black & white, but I'm guessing that's not a surprise to anybody.

I thought I'd like it.....but the black hardware has gotta go. If you're going gold....you have to gold everything...including hardware.

Also, for some reason I don't think the gold is working with the rounded top 360 style. Something WB would make more sense to me (I don't know why....maybe it's just bolder looking).

I'd go with a white pickguard and TRC if you keep the black hardware.

Yep, needs the gold hardware to go with the gold pg and trc, but the black binding somewhat clashes with it, IMHO.

I like it. The only change I'd make is to swap out the silver-topped knobs for some vintage black ones. It's unusual but by no means an eyesore. Leave it and see if it grows on you.

Gotta be all white with chrome hardware for me.

I agree that the gold doesn't really work with the black hardware.

If you want to swap the gold guards and TRC for white, PM me!

Hahahahahhaha more chance of Prince Charles shopping in ALDI on a Sunday.

All white with chrome looks really cool as well.

I think the Gold is cool and unique, but I also favor the classic tux look- black on white,
although White on White sounds interesting and stellar
- anyone have a mock-up, or the real deal..
