  • i want differrent coloured hardware !!!! (petition)

    i'm tired of gold, chrome, and black. i want different coloured hardware! and not that gay car wheel aluminum looking stuff either. or the varnished chrome. i'm talking about colourful hardware. like colourd crome (i.e. ibenhad's coloured mirrored pick guards). like hot pink, hot dark blue, purple, red, etc. just think how that would look as a trem, knobs, pickup rings, nut, and tuners. you would think that by now, being the year 2003 we could have come up with a way to make them already. why hasn't jackson (or FIMC) taken this technology leap at least as a custom shop option. the technology has to be out there. walk into a head shop and see all the colourful metal pipes and body jewelery. there has to be a way to make hardware like that. just imagine a black guitar with shiny read hardware instead of chrome of gold. that would be killer!!! you could even get the logo in red to match your hardware. or that white soloist with shiny purple hardware! that would be so cool. why hasn't this happened yet!?

    i want it to happen! if you want it to happen please speak up! we must let the industry know that this is what we want! there is not much more that you can do with guitar graphics that hasn't already been done. this is the next step in electric instrument asthetics! lets make it happen.

    Kahler did this for awhile didn't they with red and blue trems? And didn't someone also make tuning keys in those colors too? I have a feeling they just didn't sell well and it died off. Anybody else remember these?

      I remember back in the 80s, Kahler made trems in red, white, and blue in addition to the standard colors. I don't know how well they sold, but I can't recall ever seeing a guitar with one on it. IMO, I don't really think they would be cost effective for companies to produce.

        If you must have it for your guitar, take the trem apart and get it bead blasted and repaint it the color you want.

          i want hot pink to go on a rhoads ltd paint scheme. and i want it bad! they need to bring that back. it doesn't have to sell well, as long as it takes to make a custom guitar - couldn't they make custom hardware as well?

            You could probably take your existing hardware to an auto paint shop and have it powder coated in any color you want.

              There's a guy at projectguitar.com that offers powdercoating for hardware.

                  Sperzel makes different colored tuners.

                  As far as the mention of body piercing jewelry with colors, it's usually either titanium or niobium, but with a lot of rubbing, the color can wear off over time.

                    Check out the Alsa Corp., their products closely simulate chrome in any color. It would be a simple matter to refinish your hardware with their products. I was actually going to invest in their system for custom work on cars and bikes but I never thought about guitars!
