  • Do Zebras look good with chrome bevels?

    Any pics?

    Basicall, I am thinking of replacing the pickups in my KV2 with zebas, but I want the chrome pickup rings. I don't know if I have ever seen a guitar with a zebra pickup and chrome ring.

    I like the look of it. Check out Sully's JS003 and JS006 guitars...he used gold rather than chrome, but you get the idea. http://www.sullysguitargarage.com/

    I know I've seen zebras with chrome, but can't seem to find a pick right now. EDIT...here's one!

        But, those rings are black and he wanted to know how they'd look in chrome.

            For future reference....

            Bevels = an angled cut in the wood for a guitar body. See, for example, some KV or RR models with the bevels painted a different color than the rest of the body.

            Bezels = another term for pickup rings.

              Ya I know. I didn't even realize I messed that up until you mentioned it though, lol.

                In my experience chrome and zebra's don't always go well together...

                  to me, chrome bezels look good with zebra pickups if the guitar is a basic solid color. the more extravagant the finish, the crappier it looks.
                  GEAR:

                  some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

                  some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

                  and finally....

                  i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

                    Yeah well...I didn't pay that much attention to it at first. The caption said the guitar had chrome rings...while they do look black, it could be the lighting/reflection? The chrome hardware looks sort of black too. :dunno: Anyhoo...changed the pic!!
